I have Dyna Wide-Glide, (mini-apes) on mine, and wouldn't think of putting any other bars on it.

It had buckhorns on it when I bought it, but I changed to the DWG bars when I installed the Quick-Bob gas tank. I love the riding position and better control with these bars.

I have also thought of doing this. Drag bars are good for short runs but can stress the arm a bit on long hauls. If you get some let us know what bars you got and what size cables you had to use.--Joey

I love my bars. I had them on my last ride, and am considering increasing to a larger height over the winter. Just so comfortable.

Oh, don't forget.. if you change your bars you may need to change cables, elec, etc.

Hey Sportyreb - I've checked out your pics but there are really small. Do you have any photos of the mini's on your bike somewhere else?

I'd like to see a few larger pics too Sportyreb if you have them. I'm thinking about a set of bars like that myself and would love to see what they look like on your bike from the different angles.

If you go the the thread at the top of the Sporty forum you'll see a few bikes with apes on them.

I just got the risers for mine. I'm putting it together slowly but surely.
