I'm pretty sure they're the same bars that used to come on the XLX,XR883,FXDX, etc. basically a narrow flat track bend.I like em because they're comfortable enough for cruising yet areodynamic enough for blasting down the freeway.Apes were only comfortable to me up to about 65 then my hands started to go numb.The lower bars create noticably less resistance and I can motor on down the road 70-80 mph all day long.

Thanks for that...thought they were the same as XLX or Flat Tracker, real comfy bars, yeah Apes were O.K for me on last big ride but over 100kmph hands went numb and felt like I was a bloody big sail.

For me XLX bars on 4inch risers may be the go.
