From the looks of the pictures, it seems the angle of the grip part is similar to stock bars (wheel barrel effect). Is that true, or are the wrists more straight?

Those welds are terrible!!!! Was thinking of ordering a pair of those but not worth the hassle. I live in Canada and if I have to return them, I would be P#*t to put it mildly.

Got off the phone with Joe, GREAT GUY BY THE WAY, and is sending me another set. I just want to make sure what is exposed and what isn't. Thanks!


here is the area I'm talking about...

Default 12" Yaffe Monkey Bars

Install only took me 4 hours... went very smooth. Being 5'7", the mirrors are very useable and just takes a bit to get used to looking under your arm. Pull-back isn't as much as I thought, I will play with it a bit to get it right for me.. and the wrist angle is PERFECT!

The TBW harness is plenty long enough... no need for extended hyd lines for brake and clutch, just a slight re-route. I went with NAMZ 8" extensions just to be safe and I had plenty....

With a 10" or 12" ape, do you see that measurement in height over stock? Meaning, will a 10" ape have a grip height of 10" higher than stock or are they different from brand to brand?

Did 12" Vindikta's on mine, wish I would have gone with a different company. Joe was great to deal with at first, then when I got the bars and told him about having to clearance my clamp corners because the bar halves were welded too close together at the 1" center section and having to modify my inner fairing a hell of a lot more than 1/8" on only the corners like his site claims, he completely ignored me. No response, no I'm sorry, no I'll send another set, nothing. And these bars are way too far back from the inner fairing for me. Gonna do yaffe 16's this winter.

Sorry for the not so great pics.

No... it's measured from the riser up to grip height... also keep in my pullback varies between bars as well.

With that being said, is the stock height about 6"?

I wish they were a bit taller but then again, maybe not if I got them taller. I played it safe.
