Default Yaffe 10"

Here is some side by side comparisons, which I have yet to find pics of. I'll post some up later after they are installed, but plenty of installed pics to see.

You never really know what you got, until you get them on the bike.

I hope i'm not the barer of bad news but i'm pretty sure those bars in the picture are not made for Batwings....those are the bars for Road GLides / ROad Kings......

I was gonna say the same thing! Unless you have a RG hidden somewhere, you got the wrong bars brother. Batwing Yaffe's have rounded edges on the bottom.

Yeah...whatcha got there is some OEM MOnkey Bars....they are made for Road GLides and ROad Kings..bike that don't require the verticle bars to be bent or contoured to get out from under the Batwing fairing...

Now if i can find any kind of a silver lining in this OOPS... i'd say this...the Monkey Bagger Bars (which is what you need for a Batwing) are pretty much the hardest things in the world to pull the wiring through...or at least i thought until i saw those OEM Monkey Bars.... having one of those sharp reverse bends is hard enough to deal with.. let alone the double reverse bends like on those bars you have.....

Send 'em back, get the right bars and good luck with the install..

The REAL silver lining is once you're done you won't stop smiling.. I just put 10" Monkey Bagger Bars on my 2010 SG and i LOVE LOVE LOVE them...they totally change the attitude of the whole bike........

Ugh!!!! Got them from my dealer. Already got the wires pulled. Was supposed to take them tomorrow to reinstall.
You've got to be kidding. On a side note, I didn't think they were to bad to wire. Looks like I'm gonna get to do it again.
