Hello everyone so i want to replace the bars on my SG i have decide on the paul yaffe monkey bars 10" models i am a small guy. i was wondering if anyone has them on there bike and can share pictures of the 10" ones so i can see how they look. They are taller then stock right ? i need to go up a little bit that is for sure but nothing crazy. thanks for your help !

 

Hey Reckless,

I have a 2014 SGS with 12" LA Chopper Twin Peaks. I'm only 5'8'' and they are a perfect fit. the only other reason i went with 12" bars because anything shorter and I dont know how well you'll be able to use factory mirrors. the 12's seem perfect. Hopefully someone can confirm that if they have 10's. Good luck.

 

That's good to hear that you went with 12" apes and are still able to use your stock SG mirrors. I am 5' 10". When you are sitting on your bike with the front wheel straight grabbing the bars. Are your arms above your shoulders or level? Did you have to change you lines? Could you post a picture or two?

 

My arms are level, which is another reason why I like the 12" bars. When I installed mine I changed to SS braided lines, BUT i've heard guys say you dont have to change the lines, only have to extend the wires.

here is a pic when i started the install. sorry im not home right now or id have better pics. I can get more.

 

i am planning to install tweeters where my stock mirrors are and use on the bar mirrors. so i am going with 10" plus i dont want to go up my arms could go up maybe two inches and they would be level which is what im looking for my low rider has tall bars and there not great for long hauls as i tour three or four times a year from Maryland to the Florida and Canada also planning a ride to California this summer. just wanted a few picks of some 10" monkey bars before i spent the money on them.

 

There are quite a few threads on here with guys showing photos of their 10" monkies. Here's a good one to check out:
