Default Yaffe Monkey Drag Bars?
I noticed that Yaffe has some new bars called the Monkey Drag Bars.

http://www.baggernation.com/tpc.php?cid=6

Anyone tried these yet? I'm thinking they would be nice on my Road King. I've been considering getting the Wild1 518's but love the look of the Monkey bars...just don't want apes. Thoughts?

Looks like a new item and I haven't heard of any on the forum with them as of yet. If you like them and don't want the ape look maybe this will work for you. If you do get them please post up to see what you think of them.

My back hurts just looking at them, no way I would go through the hassle of a bar install for 6" bars?

Bars ordered. I spoke with Yaffe and they said they have not installed them on a FLHR yet. I'll post some pictures when I get them.

Yep. Got them installed. Here is the photo album.

I really liked the way they looked but I felt like I was leaning forward a little too much. I probably could have lived with it. I ended up sending them back and getting the Wild1 Chubby 515 (10").

If Paul had made the pullback about 3 or 4 more inches they would probably be about perfect.
