Default Yes another handle bar question

I've been trying to figure out which bars I want and looked on these forums a lot, found some great info and even better pics of the member's bikes. It seems that the majority of the riders here are using the Yaffee Monkey Bars and the LA Choppers Prime Apes, both are great bars and are leading my list. I was looking through some of my old mags the other night though and stumbled on these from Roland Sands and wanted to know if anyone has any experience with them or their company? Any info would be great.

Wow, very pricey, and only 9" high? Cant see dropping that kinda coin, to get 2 inches of rise.

There are some guys over at the Road Glide Forum that have posted pictures of those bars.

If you like that look also check out Wild Ones "Outlaw" series

And 1" diameter (according to the ad copy).

Expensive bars for what you're getting, I agree.

The 9" doesn't bother me, I'm short and was looking at the 10" monkey bars anyway. The 1" diameter vs the 1.25" of the monkey bars is a bigger deal I think, and may be worth the extra $35. That's why I ask for opinions.

XARAN, I'll check out those wild ones, thanks for they suggestion.

Read my reply in the 23" progress thread. I would never buy another set of these bars! The 1 1/4" are so much easier to wire and the quality SUCKS on the set of bars I received

Just did, thanks for the info. Looks like these are not worth the money.

Just ordered the 10" monkey bars last night $351 shipped to my door. Did alot of looking and these just kept coming to the top of the list.

I did not want real tall bars and wanted my hands as fairing level. Supposed to be delivered ups 01/04.

Let the install fun begin.

Good luck with the install, I think I'm going to go the monkey bar route too. Post some pics when you're done

I just started a thread a few days ago with my PYO MBB install in my '10 FLHXSE.

Search for it, for some decent pics of the finished product. Good luck!
