I picked up my 14 Limited today. I had my dealer install a set of Paul Yaffe 12" Monkey Bars. I rode approximately 150 miles today and can't believe just how comfortable they are. I wish I had them installed on day 1.

That's a lot of miles to ride around on a trailer, how was the handling? ;-)

Good choice on bars I've had them in the past and it really changes the comfort level for the better. Enjoy!

Bars are a 10, mirrors not so much lol. Time for a mirror upgrade? I bet the stealer stuck you good for that install. Mine quoted me 10 hours of labor which is why I tore it apart and did it myself!

I've found that my Limited leaks a lot less on the trailer,......

Yes,.... my dealer did charge quite a bit to install mine. The labor was $600, but it was well worth me not having to deal with it. I've install several sets of bars over the years and I just don't have the time right now.


I'm shopping for mirrors now,..... im hunting for some that will be black with a lil contrasting chrome.
