Can someone please identify the handlebars on these two bikes for me please. I think the first one (Charlie Sheen) one is a buckhorn style and the second (Lorenzo Lamas) mini ape hangers... have I got this right? Thanks for any help,
The 2nd to bottom pic looks like stock bars from a Softail Custom - same as are on my bike in the sig pic. The bottom pic of the same bars looks like about 12" mini-apes, but maybe not softail custom bars, looking at the straight on. Either way, some softail custom mini-apes will be about the same (see below).
The upper pics look like the stock risers from a softail standard with some buckhorn bars that are a little different than what was stock on my bike, but not much. Maybe a pre-2000 stock softail standard bar??

All of the Softail Customs and Standards from 84 to 99 came with 6" pull back risers, and Buckhorn bars. I think they changed in 2000 to a different style bar. I have a magazine with Lorenzo's Softail in it, and the bars appear to be 12 or 14" apes on short risers.
