I just picked up the Yami bar, Came UPS today, haven't even seen it yet. I really wasn't sure I wanted it, but $50 on ebay for "new take off" convinced me. Figured if I don't like it someone here might want it

+1 on The Lindby Bar it looks pretty cool too. Something to think about though. If you are shorter than 5'9" it's a little bit of a reach comfortably to put your feet on them. I am 5'9" and they are comfortable if I am stretched out with my legs straight but if I just want to place the bottoms of my boots on em they are a little bit of a reach for me.

Well, I think I am going with the Cobra Fatty Bars - I really like the 1.5" diameter tubing; and given the fact the reach might be too much for me on the Lindby.

I have the Cobra's Fatty Freeway Bars. They have saved my life before so I only trust them.

Got the Lindbys. I like the look but not real comfortable to put your feet on. Thinking about adding some pegs.

Truth is, they all do thier job. Its gonna come down to the style you like. One more reason I liked the big bar....not having to remove the floorboards to mount it.

This is a big plus. I have the Lindby Bar, with Kuryakyn Highway pegs, and I love it. I like how I can either kick my feet out, or up, depending on how I feel at the moment.

But putting it on was a P.I.T.A. I don't mind removing one floorboard at a time to put something on, but I hate having to do both, and leave them hanging, or tie them back.

I'll see if I can get a pic of my setup soon for you.
