Another Ape thread
I am getting ready to get a set of apes. I think that I am going to get 12" Khrome Werks. Can't decide on the narrow or regular style. Any thoughts or pics appreciated (I did search and saw some) - I know it is really a personal choice. Also, any specific advice (for example internal wiring or anything else) is appreciated. Thanks is advance.

I would do the internal wiring if I was you, I love the clean look and if you know what your doing it wont cost that much.... just some time.

I have narrow ones on my bike. I agree, if the bikes a narrow glide you should get narrow bars. Although wides high bars are easier to control. Mine are 12 inch bars and there only shoulder height. If you want height depending on your size I would go with 14 or 16 inches. I ran the wires inside of the bars. I think it looks cleaner. Good luck on your hunt. Post pics when there done.

Thanks guys. My only concern with the narrow ones is that my speedometer is on the handlebars. The measurements look like the curve comes right at the end of the speedometer mount. Not sure if that will look tight, even if it fits the front end better.

Thanks for the pics. I think that that is what I might go with. How tall are you and do you find it more comfortable than the stock bars?

I'm 5' 6" and I do find them to be more comfortable for me and my hands are still below my shoulders. They are about 1 1/2" taller then the harley mini apes that come on the St Bob.
