Hope this helps.

Here is are some pics from the seat looking down (ignore the guy in the gas lid reflection. LOL).


Here is some more profile pics which gives you an idea of the pullback.


The corner of the bars are very smooth. The weld where the gussets are located are nice clean/narrow bead but not smooth like the rest of the corners of the bars. See below:


The bars are sweet and everybody seems to love 'em. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another set if I ever bought another bike. Fair warning, these bars a complete and total Pain in the A$$ to internally wire but I can give you some pointers.

love your vision funky - i always thought the road glide was fugly as can be, now i keep trying to justify having a road glide to go with my road king...

i particularly like how functional it looks, lowers, a comfy seat, and a full size windshield... and it still looks like a kick *** from all angles.

They are sweeet! Those are 13"?

The Yaffe's talk about swedging the inside of the bars to make internal wiring easier.

From the bottom of the bar where your hand sits to the top of the lower bar is a around 12". So....from the the top of the bar where your hand sits to the bottom of the lower bar is probably around 14". 13" if you measure from the middle of the bar. Again, the very top of the point to the bottom of the bar is around 17". This is why these bars look taller than what they actually are. He cleans the inside of the bars as well...he can tell you exactly what he does if you call..probably the same as Yaffe.

I was able to relocate my my stock clutch cable behind the instrument cluster pod and use it. It is very close though. If I he had added just a 1/2" more in height it would not work with the clutch cable. Rear brake cable worked fine.

Anybody have any experience with Hill Country Custom Cycles? They sell bagger ape packages that come complete with all wiring and cable extensions for about $450-$500. Does this sound like a good deal? How much have you guys spent on your apes and cables? I am looking to go with some 13" or 14" apes on my SG, black of course.
