I've been thinking about putting different bars on my bike for awhile but can't decide. I like the looks on a bike when the front end flows nicely, but with a wide glides extra rake it's hard to make them look right in my eyes with apes. I was thinking either 14 apes or 12 apes or drag bars with 6-8 inch risers. Any pics would help. I'm 6'3 so either way reaching isn't a problem.

 

Either way, they'd look good on your WG. I prefer apes but I have seen WGs with the T-bar setup and really like it most of the time. Something like the HD Street Sweepers or similar.

16's:

 

I really like your pipes. What are they. If you don't mine me asking, how much were they and where did you get them?

 

You say apes or drag bars. Talk about apples to oranges. What do you have right now. I see other saying they liike your pipes and either way they would look good on your wg. I dont see any pics of your wg to sugest which is better. Then again that would only be for looks. For comfort you realy need to sit and ride on one that has apes/drag bars. My bike came with stock style drag bars. I switched to apes over the winter and took my real 1st ride of the season last weekend. I will say its a diffrent ride. Not 100% sure about them yet but i havent given them a full evaluation. I know i wanted to sit up straighter and not slouch like i did with the drag bars.

 

I don't have a wide glide but I do have 16 apes on my Street bob I like them, But I had an oppurtunity to ride a bike with wide glide drag bars and found that to be really comfortable to me , I like the look of drags and apes but imo Drag Bars for me

That looks like a thunder header

 

I'd go for drags, the WG is a sweet handling HD.
Mine has standard bars on at the moment (2010) I've ridden a friends with apes and the handling didn't feel as sharp to me, dropping into bends just wasn't as nice.

 

That's a thunderheader. I bought them in '09 from AmericanClassicMotors, on ebay for$489. I made the heatshields from my OEM heatshields. I also painted the pipe myself. Looks like hell right now. lol

I've been checking current prices and looks like the price has gone up almost exactly $100. ACM is asking $589 the last time I checked ebay a week or so ago.

 

I hope this thread keeps going. I really wanna see some more WG's with drags and apes. I also want to change my bars out but cant seem to pick one or the other.

 

Heres my 2010 WG with Harley Fat drag bars:

 

WG's look good with either drags or apes. Id go with drags but either look good on that particular bike.
