I talked to Joe yesterday at Vindikta , they have some done right this second. So now is the time to get them is anyone thinking to avoid the wait. He said he was taking them to power coat and the chrome shop today! 14's on the way for me!
Does anyone here do any actual long distance riding on their touring bike with ape hangers? I LOVE the look, and I hear the comfort is good, but want to be sure, they are still comfortable after a 600 mile day. Also, any wind issues with the fists raised above the fairing? (I'm thinking the fairing will still deflect most of the wind over the hands but just checking).

14 inch Vindikta
These are 14 inch Vindikta Bars on my 2014 FLHXS. Joe (Owner of Vindikta) custom made mine to bend away from the rider slightly and took away the hooks at the top to give them a little more height (I'm 6'6'' tall). Like other posts, I really like the look of these bars because they have the 1.5 inch diameter. You do have to grid down the fairing a bit to make the bars fit though.
