Mission impossible with apes for my Dyna
For my -95 Dyna I am desperately running out of options of finding perfect apes for my bizarre taste.
rise 10-12"
max 5" of pull back (this is the dilemma!!!)
Narrow center area for narrow fork
Width around 34"
Apes would be positioned so that grips are horizontally level and apes are almost vertical.....
I want to lean forward on my bike. There are good candidates, like Biltwell 12" apes, Khromewerks narrow 12" apes, but all have quite some pull back. So I DO NOT WANT any buckhorn bars.
If you come up with apes that fulfills these requirements, lemmy know.

Nash are the only ones ive seen that have 5 inches of pullback, there center widths are 10.5 inches which will be a bit wider then your trees. There are some good narrow apes on the burly site and licks cycles but you would have to settle with 6 and 7 inches of pullback.

+1 on Nash. Had them on my sportster and my fatboy. Sick looking bars. Very aggressive riding look too

they have a line called malo bars that sound real close to your specs. They will also custom make them in 1", 1.25" and 1.5" like carlini's
Saw them in person, great build quality and lifetime guarantee on it all.

Why not cut a pair up a pair of apes? You can cut them on the rise and clock them out to your preference. Any weld shop should be able to set you up and I doubt they'd charge all that much.
I tig welded a set of springer apes I had laying around into a set of Frisco Style bars. I didn't give them enough pull back and it was hell on my wrists but they looked the business. If you weld on them you might have to get them rechromed (not that expensive) or powder coated (cheaper). If you really want to go lowbuck leave them as is (mine looked fine) or hit them up with a rattle can (cheapest).
