I will go over that in a different thread but I couldnt be happier
Did you have to run different cables with the 10" bars?

I just picked up my 14" PYO Monkey bars today. After getting them here, I am really glad I got the 14" vs. the 12". I know most have the 12" and really debated it, but now that I have the 14"s in hand I know I picked correctly for me. I am 6'1" if it matters to anyone. I am going to post pics soon, but waiting on painted inner fairing to put it all back together.

If I had gone with any bigger, like 16"s, I would have had to angle them back a bit to maintain my comfort zone and I prefer the look with them up/forward. 14"s hit the right spot for riding in comfort and style IMO.

I went with the PYO MBBs in 14". 8+ on the brake and clutch cables (I have a hydraulic clutch).

Used the Namz kit, but extended my wires after I ran them through the bars. Otherwise the group of wires and connections are too thick to go over the bend.

Also, the Namz kit doesn't include wires for the TBW. I extended those myself.

I went back in forth on getting 14 or 12 I decided on 12 only because I didnt want bars over wind screen. Please post photos as soon as you put back together would love to see what it looks like together.

I agree! It is worth the wait. The quality is there and the 12" is taller than you think. I spent 2 weeks wrestling with the hieght decision and I bet I measured for them at least 20 times. I found enough pictures of the 12" MBB installed to where I decided to pull the trigger. All I can say is they are PERFECT! If they were any taller I think touring a 2,500mi trip would have suffered a bit for me, but so far I have done 2 -1,200mi trips with no issues. I'm 6' 230lbs.

Also, ordering direct through yaffe was going to take 6 weeks. I called Shawn at Dr.V-Twin and he got them for me in 2 1/2 weeks (chrome) and cheaper delivered to my door. Good luck!
