Default Handle Bar Selection

I own Street Bob, and am confused on what sort of handle bars to put on, I am thinking of either going apies (gimps maybe) or with t bars or fly bar configuration.

Was wondering if all you bob owners could post your Bobs on this post with the different types of bars you have selected, This way I could compare the different looks of each bike from one post.

Thanks and happy Bobbin.

I liked the looks of the mini apes but found after a short while they were uncomfortable for me at my normal freeway cruising speed.So I switched em out for a set of Flanders wide flat track bars and couldn't be happier.OK I could be a little bit happier if I had a digital camera to show you how cool they look sorry.Oh, and they bolt right up without changing any cables.The brake line looks a little funky but I can live with for now.

I know I have a Wide Glide but.........APES!!!!! 14-16 inch.........depending on how tall you are. I have 16's and I am 5--9, the bars are up to my shoulders and very comfortable more so than the 10 inch apes

Well, I have the stock mini apes. I am in the process of switching them out for straight drag bars and taller risers. I will post pics hopefully by friday.
