Default Yaffee Monkey Bars or KST Bars

I want to put 14" bars on my 14' SGS and I looking at either the Yaffee bars or KST. It looks like the KST are about half the price. IS the quality the same? IS the measurements roughly the same? Just looking for some opinions?

I don't have any experience with the Yaffe's, but i really like my 14" KST mayhem bagger bars. They fit me perfect.

The Yaffes fit the dash and look out standing, high quality finish and workmanship. I like very much.

I know nothing about any other length other than there 8" MBB bars. I can tell you they suck to get the wires through including the heated grip wires but worth it and the 8" actually measured 9.5". Yaffe measures differently?

Not to confuse you, but have you considered Malo bars by factory 47? I'm looking at them and KST. I've heard too many delivery issues with YMB.

I threw a set of 12" Yaffe bars on my 15' SGS, love them, as someone else mentioned Yaffe bars are actually almost 2" taller than their number - thus mine measured out at 14" tall

Yaffee 12. So comfy it's ridiculous. Like others have stated they do measure taller. Mine were just over 13.

They don't look much different than the KST and Yaffee bars but the price is comparable to the Yaffee bars. The KST bars are still half the price. What did everyone pay for their bars?

I have 12" KST Outlaws on my 2015 RGS. Excellent quality, they were around $275.
