Does anyone recognise who makes these apes or do you think they might have been made privately by a clever engineer? I got the bike from the U.S with them on it and have heaps of people asking what brand they are?
Hi kdub2, thanks for the reply to the pm I sent you. Wild ones 576 look the same. They note on their website that they don't recommend them for road kings because they are 14" center. Most RK bard are 9" center. I can't tell from your pic the center width ( how wide at the base) any chance you could let me know?
Looking for something with a lot of pullback and maintain a wrist angle similar to the heritage style bars.
Hmmmm. Yes your right I see on their website that they say 14" are not recommended. Soooo that's my next question. Why not?
They seem to fit and handle all right so I have no idea. Is it a safety issue?
