HD Fat 12" Mini's are on both of my rides. No regrets. They measure 12" with the risers which are 1.5"-2". Now 14" would be nice too.

I think mini apes are the most comfy bars and I've tried everything from drag bars, beach bars tall apes, etc.....

I've also got the 10" chubby strip bars from Todd's Cycles

I was wondering how you liked those bars comfort wise? Also how do they fit you and what's your height? Was debating wether or not I wanted to get a set of those for my softail slim. They look awesome on your bike.

I've had 12" apes on a couple of bikes, and like them. I have trouble with my right hand going numb, and that doesn't happen as much with mini apes.

Thanks man! They are pretty comfortable. They helped the pain in my right shoulder slightly, but I don't think any bar will eliminate it. Just a bad shoulder, it hurts driving the truck as well. They are right about shoulder height with them rolled forward with the badlander seat, and I'm 5'-9". No regrets, still like em!

oh thats perfect then I'm 5'9" also. The stock bars feel like I'm reaching forward too much how are these as far as reach goes? I'm pretty well set on these or the wild1 outlawz.

Depends how you set them. The way I have mine, rolled forward to almost vertical, the reach is similar to the stock drags, just with your arms a little higher. You can roll them back and reduce the reach to whatever is your comfort zone.

With the 10" mini apes did the wires or cables have to be extended.
