The 10" Yafffe bars are close to the height of my Twin Peaks 12".

Let us know what you do, and post some pics!

I think the angle of your camera makes them look taller than they are. I am 6' and 32" inseam and just want to make sure my arms aren't angled up. I need level or a little bit down when at stock height seat. Thanks for the additional info. I have heard too many times someone using shorter and then going to tallker ones later.

Lots of post on here with guys moving up in bar height, after buying bars too short. My arms are level when riding, with my hands just above fairing.


Heading down the road..

Glad to help, and I know about that budget deficit thing...been trying to work in a razor tour pack...
Ride safe!

5 '10 arms are 6'2 long. Perfect height.. have gone 350 miles in a day with them and zero shoulder or neck pain.. bike has plenty of power and they are easy to control.

Biggest benefit.. my hands are protected by fairing.. at 40* I didn't need gloves

I ordered a set of these today (thanks to your picture), Any issues swapping the heated grips from the stock bars over?

Thanks for your input, I do really appreciate it. I like the LA Choppers bars and will likely go with the 12". If I end up having issues with bugs notching my knuclkes I might consider going to 10" but the pic of HDRider15 riding sold it for me. We are the same hight and that is about the angle I was looking for.

Yeah, now I see why you want them below the fairing line. Us guys from Southern Texas don't always think about that as it's never a concern. It's Nov 11th and the low is like 51 and high is 78. I do have some great wool lined gloves I used once last year and they worked great @ 38F. I am not sure how they will work with exposed hands at 38 but will let you know.

Yeah, that lasted a day. They are on order at Dennis Kirk. Got the bars and the Drag Specilaties Poly bushings shipped for $209.
