i looked at the JP cycles 2009 cat and on pg 781 there is a set of 15's for 69 bucks
it may have been denise Kirk i got the last set for a customer from... i can really not recall... all my bars now i get from Hogrida... he makes some sick bars!

I contacted this guy about making a custom set of apes with a 14" rise, 8" center, and proper pullback, with knurling and indentions for stock controls. He is going to do it for his regular price. http://www.vindikta.com/parts/ If this works out, I will be very pleased, and hopefully everyone else with midglides will have access to some nice apes.

Yes, I emailed them and they told me that their 12.5 apes are the same height as HD oem apes. Their taller apes are too wide across the center for my preferences.

I finally got some with 8 inch centers for midglides. This guy custom made my 14's, knurled, drilled for internals, and powder coated for less than $100.
I installed them and they are
