Default Ordered handlebars....now the wait

After being paralyzed for a year going back and forth trying to find the perfect bar, I ordered 12" Yaffee Monkey Bars and braided cables.
10" Monkey Bars are in stock and ready to ship....12" has an 8-10 week wait. Brady at Yaffee was a great help in deciding the wait for 12's will be worth it.
So most of the summer will be spent using my crappy stock bars....that is what I get for the analysis paralysis!

Best of luck on the surgery, I'm sure the recovery will be worth it.

Don't understand the wait? Just checked and Direct Cycle Parts has them in stock ready to ship both chrome and black. Have also seen them on Ebay readily available. Here's the link to DCP:

Thanks for the tip gliderman! Direct cycle parts didn't have the right bars in stock but I found them on ebay. I got the last bars at cateyechoppers which will ship next week.

Check out vindikta bars. His bars are like yaffe's but 1.5" diameter. And about the same price or cheaper. Joe will custom make to your specs if you want.

I got my 12" delivered from cateyechoppers within a week (last one in stock). Try them for the 10" also.

After many weeks of going back and forth between 10 or 12 monkey bars I think I am just going for the 12" now. Kind of glad no 10 inch are available. Gave me time to think it out. I can get 12" shipped today for $339.00 including tax and the extension kit for $230........$580 is hard to swallow but do not want to do this again. Did you get brake and clutch extension? Wires?
