Default Custom Apes For Sale!

Tried to find someone that might want to trade for these bars, but just decided to sell them. Bars are 17" tall, 39" wide custom bars made by RIS Design in CA. These bars 1.5" diameter that have been crushed for a very unique look - I have never seen another set like them in TX. Bars also have a backward curve similar to Carlini Flyin Apes, but more curve than those bars. Bars are chromed and in excellent shape - only had them on bike for a few months. Bars narrow down to 1" at hand controls and risers so you do not have to buy $200 risers just to mount them. I had a Wild One 1-piece clamp and it fit perfectly. The grip area tapers down very nicely. I ran wires internally and it literally took me 2 - 3 minutes to pull wires on each side.

These bars cost $390 new, similar to what you see from other custom bar shops, but these are much more rare. I just decided to go a little lower due to my low seat height. I still found them very comfortable on several longer (6 hr) rides, but figure I may as well sell them now while they are still basically new. I liked them enough that I am having RIS make me another set to my specs.

Will sell for $290.00 shipped in continental U.S. If that seems high, take a look at what a set of custom apes cost - easily $350 - $450, not inlcuding shipping. I am waiting to receive new bars the next two weeks, and will pull these as soon as I receive the new ones, but figured I'd post now and be able to take more pics if someone is interested. Here are some pics:

Thanks - about a month ago I had a guy come up to me at local HD and td me they were exactly what he wanted and was wanting measurements, etc. Should have sold them to him. Bars are really nice quality - someone will be very happy wih them.

Yes, but I still have not received new bars yet so these will not be available to ship for another week or two. Bars are really nice - went for a ride Friday and had several comments including a custom builder who had never seen bars like this before.
