Default Want to replace my bars
Hey Guys,

I want to replace my stock lowrider bars with something more aggressivewith internal wiring. I like the slammers but am vertically challenged and don't want to have a 4 foot pull back riser. Whacha guys think about mini apes? Will they give a short dude enough pull back?

Thanks and ride safe.

Try something with more pullback - check into Carlini bars - expensive but nice with options. Or try drag bars with different risers to get your reach where you want it.

I like ape hangers. If you are a little shorter than average, you might try Wild1 Chubbys in either the 8.5" or 12" height.
My 2cents.
