Odd handlebar question
Recieved my apes the other day and just happened to be measuring some things and found that the hand grip and control locations are different lengths. I would assume they are suppose to be the same length otherwise I think this is going to really affect my install. As you can see from the pics. One is about 7 1/4 and the other is roughly 7 5/8. The bars were purchased off eBay claiming to be Todd's cycle and look very much like the Todd's cycle from the Dennis kirk website. Did I get ripped off or do I just not know Harley handlebars?

I believe my 10" Todd's strip bars were the same way. I think this has something to do with the throttle by wire notch. Either way, I have not noticed any issues, and I've put on a couple thousand miles since the install.

Alright that's good to hear. Thank you! I was worried I got some hacked together bars and got screwed over
