Default Arlen Ness modular mini apes?

Im changing my bars out on my superglide, and was looking at these, but cant find many pictures of anyone using them.
Any opinions or pics would be great.
Thanks..

I haven't used these, but I don't think it'd be worth the chance that they could possibly loosen up and get moved around by accident. I went to T bars to get my bars as rigid as possible because my apes and Z bars had too many vibes and wobble.

For the price of these, I would probably suggest you go to the hardware store, buy some PVC pipe and 90° joints and find the angles that you like, then have a good fabricator make you a set of custom bars to your specs. It'll probably cost you less in the long run and you'll have a more sturdy product. Just an idea.

I'm not surprised you haven't seen many pics of them on bikes. They cost way too much and are ugly.
Just say no.
