Paul Yaffe's Baggernation "Monkey Bagger Bars".
10" rise.


With the 10" rise, the electrical wires are fine.
Brake cable is fine as well.
Clutch cable....well, as you can see, it works (that's the stock one there). But it's *so* tight that there is *zero* slack to it. So tight that when I was showing it to someone, just a small amount of pressure on it (to show him how tight it was) started to pull the cable apart down at the adjuster.
And that was with the adjuster at max. length.

So I ended up getting a slightly longer clutch cable anyway, just to be safe.



Oh, and with the 10" rise, my hands totally blocked the stock SG mirrors. But the Tribal Black series mirrors I had left over from my softail work just fine with the black bars.

Trask Performance Bro Bars. 16" height 42" width. Don't remember what length cable he used. Took a few miles to get used to them, but they are very comfortable.

That looks badass!I never thought of changing bars on my EGS,but I may have to now.Would go good with the blacked out front end I`m doing.
