Haven't used those or don't know anyone that has...one thing thing about pullback is the more of it you have the more your wrists are bent out (which sucks)! The wider the bars are the more it makes up for too much pullback (as far as wrist angle goes) but who wants to ride around with their hands over 3ft apart if their lookin for comfort or good handling! If your lookin to get the bars closer to ya, ya might be better off goin with some pullback risers under the apes (not the best way) or maybe gettin a seat that puts you up & closer to the bars or just closer? Just sayin too much pullback sucks IMHO!

WILD1 CHUBBYS...
They rock!
As Rounder said the apes base is wider (than stoch H-D apes which i think have a too...common look) BUT to me this is why they look better on dynas!
Check out the pics in their site.
I use a dragbar from this company and the quality is great!
I'm going to turn to apes too,cause i need to lean back for smoother (and slower) ride.
Now watch out the hight.I'm 184 cms and i'm picking the 12,5 in.
Oh and the pullback is 12in...Nice?

To be completely honest with the OP...I'd just figure it out for yourself, bars are too touchy, especially just to go buy cause they work for somebody else! You gotta mock something up...I wasted alot of money tryin different bars till I figured out by mock up exactly what I needed! Wild ones are too expensive to just try & hope they work! 2 of their sets didn't work for me...just sayin!

you might want to try the biltwell apes.......they're 12" and narrow at the base. No experience with them but they look like they'd fit the bill

I have the 10 in version of these with the wider base (I have a WG)...these [in the link below] are made for the sportster narrow glide front end. Even with the 7" pullback mine are about exactly where I need them to be.

And the price won't kill you if you decide you don't like em......I like the more squared off angles on the bars as opposed to the stock WG bars that were more rounded at the bends as well.

These guys may have what you're looking for:

Check out their photo gallery. Their bars look very good, symmetrical, to the front end width.
