Default Which 14 inch apes?

Hey guys, looking for a set of 14 inch apes...again. I'm trying to find a set that will fit, or match, the narrow Dyna front end. Most of the bars I find are so wide at the bottom, I just don't think it looks right. Also some that don't have so much wrist angle and don't bend downwards like a lot of them I see. Would prefer 1.25 inch diameter but would go with 1 inch if the bend was right. Does anyone know if there is such a thing? Thought about having some custom bent, but there doesn't seem to be anyone out there that does that. Just want some plain 'ole apes with none of that spikey stuff. Thanks guys. BTW my bike is a 1998 FXDL.

Those both look real nice, the Burly's look wide, gotta be at least 36 inch.

With grips on, the Burlys are just barely over 35" wide from tip to tip. Just measured mine.

Very neutral & pretty minimal drop, so no having to bend your wrists at some weird angle. I'm 5'7" with a 31" inseam, but built like a gorilla & sitting up straight with those bars, my hands were just a hair above shoulder level. Very comfortable bars. Dunno why I switched to the wider Khrome Werks12"ers when I did the front end. They're not bad, but they're just not as comfortable as the Burly narrows. I get a twinge in my upper back after a few hours now, that I never got with the Burlys.
