Default Handlebars

Currently got a set of Dominator pre wired MX-T bars on my Low Rider ST. I was thinking of going to some Apes. Anyone have Apes or something similar? Do you like them? How does it ride?

I think @Rounders could answer your question about Apes as he seems to be knowledgeable about them.

I'm 6'2" and have had a 96 Wideglide (101,000) and traded it in for an 07 Street Bob, both with HD Mini Apes. LOVE IT, VERY COMFORTABLE!

Handlebars are like women and underwear. personal preference.

I have 12" West coast MX-t bars on my street bob and love them. very comfortable, bike handles great. The factory mini apes (10" rise) weren't uncomfortable, just not my preferred wrist angle. and just for reference I'm 5'9".

Nice bike, but you're in the wrong forum. This is where Dyna's live, your bike is a Softail, you want to post Here
