Default KST Kustoms ?

New to the site guys....

I am looking for input on KST Mayhem bars for a 2010 street glide.
Most likely 12".

My issue is I like the 10" monkey bars by Yaffe, however, the premium price is kinda crazy when the KST mayhems are nearly identical....EXCEPT....which brings me to my issue, the KST are 37.5 inches wide and the Yaffes are 34.5.

I'm not a fan a wide bars, but wander how much difference an inch and a half would make on either side....

I guess I'm looking for some pics, some input, etc to make up my freakin mind!

Thanks, great site!

Bano.

I really like them. I'm running 14's on mine. The width is not a problem at all. But I'm 6'4" too. Very well made bar in my opinion and worth every penny. KST bars also come with a lifetime cosmetic warranty.

I have a set of 10 3/4"s in the garage about to go on in the next few weeks (as well as a TRUCK load of other mods)
Will post pics soon.
I looked at the 12 Yaffe's and couldnt get over the $$$

I have installed a couple sets of KST Mayhem bars, they are very nice bars. I wouldn't worry about the width of them. On my personal bike (pics below) I am running Prime Apes they are 39" wide and I love them.

Dang, I want to go the kst route but I can't get myself to pull the trigger. I'm so scared their going to be too wide.....lol! , life must be good if this is my only problem! (Yea, right)

I'm 6'01" with average build, I measured out 37.5 inches on a tape and held it up in front of me while sitting on the bike, and it feels like I'm all stretched out......

I have KST 14" Mayhems on my SG. I was a little concerned about the width as well, but they are actually very comfortable. Here's a pic.
