i have 14" carlini evil apes.
i am in the process of putting fat bob trees on my bike for exactly the reason you brought up though.
i was tired of looking at my bars sticking 1/2" out past my triple trees.

Just finished fitting Wild 1 chubby Outlawz 14" to my streetbob 13, got away with all the stock cables, width of bottom of the bars match well with the width of forks, love the look but ain't had time to try the ride out yet or take pic's.
My purchase of these was inspired by Robbie13's ride, really suit the streetbob!

hey robbie, sorry i'm new and can't send a pm. is there any reason why you had to lower your front end to accommodate the 14" bars?

Yes. Because I have the integrated risers on my top tree. The forks had to be lowered down about an 1/8th of an inch so that the bottom of the bars would seat and not hit the top of the tubes. Just sliding the tubes down in the trees a bit is all your doing.
I had a set of 12" apes ($50.00 j&p) and 3"risers(about $20.00 e-bay) i used all the stock cables and wiring so it was an easy install... i have since swithched out the whple set up for something differnt but i loved the way it looked and rode
