14 inch apes.........hard to find

I want to put some on my bob, but i cant seem to find a good selection, just a few ive seen. Any help would be appreciated. Also, how would pipe wrap look on V&h BSS? Since the heat shields run the full length, would wrapping over top the heat shields be a problem.

i think wrapping over the haet shelds would be a bad thing cause if you look on the front pipe you are alredy close to the fram and when the engine vibes at idel it would be rubbing on the fram but the wrap is thick so it would look good with the sheilds off

I got a set of 14s phrom Dennis Kirk phor about 50 bux. I'd look there.
Pipe wrap over shields? Does not sound like a good idea to me.

I am under six foot, like 5 8 or so, the 16's come just over my shoulders. They are very comfy and the bike feels so different, in a good way! Those bars will probably be even with your shoulders maybe you'll still be taller, I do not know how far down your seat sets. DO IT
