I have heard that the Yaffe bars (Classic Bagger and Monkey Bars) are sometimes over-chromed at the factory, which may require some sanding on the bar ends to get the grips to fit properly.

Thanks. Very nice looking 'Glide, by the way...
The Get-a-Grip Magnums installed without any issues. No throttle sticking issues what so ever! The Monkey Bars were not chromed completely where the grips go. I did not have to do any modifications to the bars or the grips for the install.

Where did you order your bars and were they specific for the 2014 or will the previous year models work? Thanks

I ordered the bars directly from BaggerNation.com. I don't believe that they are year specific!

Great pics. Having the stock bar next to the new bar helps put it in perspective. My 12" Wild 1s outlawz are supposed to be here on the 27th. will post similar pics.

I was at a dealership yesterday and noticed that the SGS really lacked in looks in the handlebar area. The stock handlebars and grips look so inadequate. If I had a new SGS, I would do the same thing you did to fix those shortcomings.

Great job and good pics. Thanks
