No problem! Glad I could help. What bars are those? Looks good!
HD, but... funny story...
In the earliest days of the 2018s (I bought the first 2018 my dealer sold) the website and first catalog erroneously referenced the flat-black version of 16" apes for this bike and that's what I bought. The reference wasn't there for long, but it was longer still before the current apes were referenced. At the time it was these or nothing. So I kept these apes and had them powder-coated glossy.
Today the HD 16" Apes referenced on the website won't need powder-coating, but they actually are a different part number than what I'm running. Hilarious, right?!
Once I got the apes, I'd been bothered by the riser style mismatch. It looked wrong but options were/are limited with this new line. I'm thankful to find the Thunderbike riser.
Pics from the website look exactly like what I received. BTW: There are two different versions of riser. These fat apes require the larger of the two sizes.
