Default z bars vs. mini-apes on SB

Hey fellas

I love my mini-apes, but I love the look of aped z bars, from Rocket Bobs or Licks. How do they compare? It looks like z bars have the same look as mini-apes, but do they offer the same comfort?

I have some 8" mini apes from Noise Skinny Cycles. They are super comfortable.

I've run both in the past. Both are comfy, but most Z-Bars are a bit narrower than baby apes. If there's a motorcycle thats was built with Z-Bars in mind...it was the Street Bob. The next bars for my Low Rider will be 10 inch Z-Bars. Not sure from who yet.

Not quite a SB but close enough. 05' superglide 12" R6C z bars. I love these bars. I was ready to get rid of the bike until I put on these bars. You will not be disappointed with the R6C z bars.

i've got a pair of biltwell keystones and a pair of road 6 apes .. like them both equally

to answer your question the road six bars are super comfy which is why i keep them on most of the time

z bars... tilt your hands for a more relaxed and natural feel while riding... mini apes are cool too though its personal pref... look for a bike that has them on it and see how they feel for you...
