I haven't but I'm hoping someone pops up with an example. I have seen them on Sportys, but not a Dyna. I really like the H bars, I think they'd look great on the right bike.

Just an FYI. Beware of Biltwell bars if you plan on internally wiring. They DO NOT deburr their bars before they weld them up (at least the set I got wasn't). I had a set of Keystone's that were very very poor quality not to mention slightly crooked. There were burrs inside along side some slag. I know this because I tried to internally wire them only to be snagged on the burrs. I ended up having to cut the bars up to rescue my wiring. Junk a set of $100 bars or buy a new wiring from HD for $270... needless to say i busted out my grinder and chopped them up to get my wiring out safely. The real kicker was I called them before hand and asked how they welded them and they told me their cuts are deburred then TIG welded. I was concerned about making the corners in there with the wires was the reason for the call prior to ordering and wanted to make sure those corners would be clean and free of hang ups. Clearly they don't know how they're welded over in China lol because when I cut them open they weren't penetrated through and there was slag and also left with burrs were the cuts were made. IMHO they did not looked to be TIG welded and sure **** weren't deburred. I still have them sitting in my garage for scrap metal lol.

I had no issues internally wiring my Biltwell apes, but obviously they're all one piece with no welds.

Yeah exactly. The cuts, welds, and steep angles are going to be the problematic areas. Traditional style apes have none of those factors to interfere.
