Default 16" Burly Narrows on my FXDB
Last Thursday I put on my Burly narrow apes. Took it for a little ride on Sunday and it was great. At 6'3" I was a bit uncomfortable with the stock 10"-ers. These 16"-ers seem perfect. Let me know what you guys think. These are the quick pics I got. I plan on getting some better ones soon. I also have pics of the disassembly of my bike in stages if you're interested in seeing those. They're taken with my phone, but it still shows what was taken off.

Thanks for the compliments, ya'll. My next move is to chop my rear fender even more and I'll likely be painting tank and fenders flat black. Then I'll just be left with small stuff to finish it up.

Looks great man, love the look of a nice set of Apes on a bike! I am only 5"10 so quite a bit shorter than you and just put in an order for black 14" Burly Narrows for my bob so those are going on after I get the bike back from my custom paint job. I will have them on in December just in time for polar bear ride season.

Can you post a pic looking at the front of the bike please? wanna see how the narrows sit with respect to the width of the front end.

Interested in the disassembly pics, planning apes as one of my winter projects.

Couple pictures I took today on base. Looks good.

I'll get the straight on shot tomorrow for you. I have it on my phone, just need to email it to myself once I charge it.
