Apes.... or Dragbars?
I'm finding myself not digging the apes as much as the drags I had on my Deuce. I love the Apes looks but also turns me into a parachute at 80mph. I'm also not diggin the "wobbly" or "Unstable" feeling. I have stock bars with the rubber mounts that totally suck ***...
I'm thinking 8" straight risers, solid mount with a straight piece of pipe might be better...
Phx has installed photoradar camera's every 3 miles on our I/17, I/10 and loop 101 routes in the last 2-3 weeks... which is where I ride daily. On the website it states the camera's are set for 10MPH over the limit. So I ride 8/9 over anytime i'm on the road. Problem is 99% of the cagers drive the limit in all the freaking lanes so now i'm playing frogger everytime i'm on the road... which is kinda fun but the spaghetti bars have to go!!

Everytime I see someone riding with ape hangers I have to laugh to myself
there goes someone who likes to experience motorcycle riding at its worst. I just put a set of dragbars on my low rider and now it feels like a motorcycle is supposed to feel.

Hey there I'm in Phoenix also, dont' you love photo radar? I switched out my stock apes on my 06 WG to the street slammer drags (8" rise) and it's much easier to handle and the wind is no longer an issue.

I don't want any pull back on the riser part.

Try KC International...they have good prices and I've never had a problem when ordering from them.
It usually takes 3 days to process your order which seems a little long, but the prices are good enough to wait for.
Bunch of bars here:
