Default Anyone running Vintage RSD Moto Bars?

I'm thinking about trading my 14" Burly Apes for some 6" risers and the RSD Moto Bars. Maybe even the Vintage Short Stacks on a little shorter riser.

Just looking for some info or pictures of anyone running this setup on their Dyna.

I love the look of the apes on my bike right now, but I get a lot of flex out of them and they are just a little out of place for riding I am doing.

Yah that's how I feel. I currently have a 13" setup (1" rise w/ 12" Burly). I also want to do a 6" rise.

I don't want to look like every other SOA wanna-be out there so I am looking for unique other than T-bars but something still ridgid and comfortably tall. It's a tough search.

I just installed the poly bushings yesterday actually and what an improvement. Still some flex in the bars, but a huge improvement. I think I will still be trading out the apes and holding onto them for a rainy day if I ever decide to switch back.

But for anyone going to apes or any high leverage bar, the poly bushings are a must. The stockers just dont hold up to the leverage that is applied to them. Mine lasted 5 months and about 2k miles.
