Default aftermarket fairing w/ apes

Ok I've looked and looked and can't quite find the answer I'm looking for. I have a Woody's fairing on my 09 RKC. I am going to be putting some 14s on my bike when I get back from deployment. I know that most regular bars "will fit" with the fairing but has anyone put bagger bars on a king with an aftermarket? It seems like it would give you a little more room between the fairing and bars at the top... I know it's kind of a generic question but who knows...

Good question. I know on the street glides the bottom of the bars have a slight bend to clear the fairing. The after market fairing pretty much attaches like the windshield right??? Subscribed.

I'm planning on doing the same thing to my 09 RKC. I'm leaning towards 14" OEM Monkey Bars. When called Yaffe they said it would work and to look at the pictures of Children's Ride in the finished bikes. It shows them with after market faring. Hope that helps.

I went ahead and ordered the bagger bars. I want to make sure that I have enough room to push them forward a little bit and from what I have seen with the regular bars they're right up against the fairings. I'll post pics when I get them on.

Just put 10" PYO MBB on my '10 RK yesterday.
I have a Deadcenter fairing.
I used the MBB instead of the OEM for a couple of reasons.
I wanted the clearance between the fairing and bars to give some flexibility in back and forth adjustment.
I didn't want to have to pull the wires through 2 of those bar angles, top and bottom that the OEM have as opposed to the round bottom bend on the MBB.
After pulling the wires, I definitely wouldn't want to deal with that angle twice.
I'm glad I went with the 10's, with my C &C seat I'm already at least a inch lower than my stock seat so the height is what I was looking for and I'm 6' 1
I think the OEM would be pretty tight up against a fairing.
I will post a few pictures tomorrow.
Wiring the bars was no where near as bad as I was expecting. A RK definitely will require wire extensions.
I was told the 10's would allow me to keep my stock cables which is only partially true. I had to reroute both and my brake is way tighter than I'm comfortable with so I will unfortunately be changing it.

I emailed Paul before ordering the bars, and he suggested the 12" OEM bars for use with my Dragonfly fairing. I had been considering the Monkey Bagger Bars, but I'm glad I went with the ones I did. They are fairly tight to the fairing, but that's not a problem, and I've got my grips exactly where I want them to be. If they were any more forward they'd be over the top of the fairing, which wouldn't work at all.

Here are the 10 inch MBB with a deadcenter fairing
I think it would be too tight with OEM bars
