Default need some help with apes

Well this is my first post here. i bought my first bike last summer its an 82 fxr with flh tins and front end so far riding is awesome cant wait till the warm weather gets here! At the moment im re-doing my bike and i want to switch from beach bars to apes. The bike in this website below has exactly what i am looking for apes look wise and dimension ive looked through the ape **** section many times (good stuff) but cant find anything like these and if there is no names. i found a cycle and smith pair on jp's that are 16" with 8.5" pull back not sure if they would look like these below or not. Can any one identify these or list a good website that sells apes like them? Thanks for the help in advance. Ill post pics when i get a chance. http://www.copperheadcustoms.com/Ima...00_0883_lg.jpg

Try Wild 1's web site. I think they might have what you are looking for...

Carlini's is another nice ape, while not exactly what you are looking for just thought I would throw it out there as an fyi.

Krome werks is another

I recently traded in my 05 Springer Classic for an 09 Street Glide. Love it! Talk about a luxurious ride...My 1st upgrade was a set of 13'' Cycle Smith Apes. I am 6'1'' so the bars with the stock seat put my arms just a little over parallel to the road. Much more comfortable than the stock handlebars. The stock exhaust will be the next thing to go...

I cant tell what those are but if you are looking for around 8.5 pullback , stay away from wild one bars , they have like a foot of it. I agree with carlini , nice bars ( and my next bars) LA choppers also has apes with small amounts of pullback , which is what I am running currently
