Default Sizing Yaffe "Classic Bagger" Bars for Bat Wing Tourers

Are the Yaffe 10" Classic Bagger Bars equivalent to other maker's 12" bars? A reseller's specs show an 11" rise.

Can the Yaffe bars be adjusted toward the rider to gain pullback and get the grips below the fairing?

I like the Khrome Werks 12" Ape Hangers (300025) and 12" Fat Apes (300325) bars, too, but the grip angles appear to be more severe than stock. On the other hand, the grip angles on the Yaffe Classic Bagger bars appear to be much flatter than stock, which I like; but I'm concerned that I'll lose too much height to get the needed pullback.

Does anyone have experience with the Yaffe Classic Bagger and Khrome Werks Apes bars? I'd appreciate your input.

Yeah, what the heck was I thinking? Anyway, as long as I have it, I may as well make it comfortable, right?

I have them and they rock. No sense in paying 3 times for Wild 1 bars. The 10s are 12s. I'm sure they can be pulled back but all the way forward they sit just above the fairing and you can just see out the mirrors. Personally I think they are the best height. Get them they are a great price and cool bars. Beet deal out there on bagger apes.

OK. So, it's true that the 10" Classic Bagger bars are really 12" high? Great news!

The only reason I'd pull them back is if I can't reach them comfortably. I want to be able to sit up straight and have my wrists above my elbows and below my shoulders.

How do you find the wrist angle, compared to stock? Any pics of you on the SG?

I like the price and the way they look.
