Need a Measurement Please!
Hey; I'm at work and don't have my bike......... does anyone know off hand (or if you are near your bike with a tape measure in your hand) what the overall width of the SB triple trees is? I'm looking at a set of bars on the net that look pretty cool but I'm thinking they might be too wide......... I don't like apes that are wider than the forks.
Oh and here is the link to the Paughco catalogue. The ones I'm looking at are the Paughco "Straight Apes" - I like that they go straight up without flaring out from the base and that the tips dont drop down from the top bend but are parallel to the ground; just worried that they will be too wide for what I want (they are 12.5" wide between the vertical rise portions)
They got some other pretty nice stuff too....... good prices.

Base width of stock mini-apes is 10" according to this: http://www.harley-davidson.com/pna/p...bmLocale=en_US
P/N 56079-93T is a chrome version of the stock bars. Hope that helps.

Well according to the chart from Wild 1 Chubby the stock Street Bob bars are 8 inches wide in the clamp area. See here http://wild1inc.com/STOCK_HD_BARS.pdf
Also according to that chart the 09 and up Street Bobs have 12 inch high bars as opposed to the 10 inch ones on earlier Street Bobs. Hmm
Anyways, I believe these are my exact bars
As you can see they say 9.5" across and as you can see in my picture below they stick out a little wider than the forks, which you say you don't like. So maybe 8.5 inches will be pushing the limit.
Hope that helps

OK that's what I needed thanks. Looks like these bars are going to be about 2" wider than what I want.......... too bad cuz I like the style and they are dirt cheap ($66) - hmmmm wonder if I could just get someone to cut a couple of inches out of the middle and weld em back up.............
