Default 16" ape recommendation's

Im going to put 16" bars on my softail, but Im not sure where to find them or who makes them.
Ive been seeing some guys running them. The 16" portion curves towards the rider then back out , in a gradual arc.
Anybody know who makes what Im describing? Where to find em?
Thx.

Have you tried going to your local dealership or a local indy and looking through the catalogs?

Nah, just been searching around on the web. Finding mostly straight ones or goofy expensive ones. Thought a few guys here are running what I described

Not sure I am picturing it correctly. Post a pic? Hill Country Customs make nice inclusive packages.

Look on ebay at "bagger bars". They have that angle back you describe. I think it is necessary for apes on a dresser.
