Does anyone know if the Yaffe 10" classic bars require changing cables/brake line? I'm getting conflicting stories on that.

I posted a thread last year about installing 12" khromewerks fat apes on my 2000 EG if you're gonna do it yourself:

Good luck!
FrankCaputo thanks a ton for the link!! I do plan on doing the installation myself and the resources you provided are great!! I have decided to go with the Santee 1 1/4" 11" Bagger Apes from Eastern Performance. I should be getting a quote for a complete install package today.

No problem! I used cables and brake line from Magnum Shielding in their chromite finish. Not cheap but good finish and customer service. My clutch cable at the transmission end has discolored a little from heat, but not bad enough to fool with.

Don't know what you get in a kit, but you really only need longer clutch, throttle, idle cables and longer front brake line. Wires are good as they are, but the plugs will be farther up toward the radio after the install.

Well, I was in Texas this past week and I stopped by Gruene Harley Davidson where they had a 2014 SG with black 12" Yaffees on it. Should have never sat on that bike cause now I want em!!

The dealer told me 2 things:
a. Yaffee measures to the top of the spike and not to that grip position so a a 14" sits the gripes at a 12" - 12.5" position.

b. Being that I have a 2000 that 12"s would put my hands WAY above the fairing.

Anyone out there have any pictures or experiences installing on a 97 - 2004 FLHTC?

Thanks
DJ

Most people seem to think PYO MBB's are a little taller than stated but what you heard is the opposite of that. My pick show's 10's on an '09. I don't know about "WAY" above the fairing, but 12's will definitely put the grips above the fairing.

I have Carlini Menace apes love them. I have added clamps to bring the cables along the lines of the bars. I need to update my picture.
