1 1/2" apes....help please
Ok, so I got my wrap around fender & strut covers coming. Now I need to concentrate on getting the apehangers. I would like 1 1/2" apes but need to know what (good) brands are out there. Also, what else would be needed...obviously my risers wont work (I dont think). The other thing, I'm hoping that I can have the bars "inline" with my forks...you know what I mean by that? That mostly will be up to the ride position I guess.
Anyway, some help with brands. Thanks.
Oh, going on my 08 Fat Bob.

I'm running 16" X 1 1/4" Chubbys. They are stepped down to 1" in the center, so I can use regular risers. If you want them "inline" with your forks just get straight risers with no pullback. I got mine from an eBay store and they came pre-wired, with chrome controls, and the proper lengths of braided cables for my bike. I got the whole setup for around $600 including shipping. It costs a little more to get them prewired, but it is worth it to me to avoid the headache. I love my apes![sm=happybounce.gif]
