Pullback Risers with Apes
Hey guys I am looking for a set of pullback risers for my 12" apes on my softail slim, does anyone know or seen a set of pullback risers with apes? Does anyone sell pullback risers that fit 11/4" bars?

Not sure how pullback risers would look with apes, though. Don't guess I've ever paid any attention to any.

I would think your bike had a cable and wire extension done so you may have enough slack to go with a 14 inch ape and more pull back on the bars. Really it maybe comparitable price to adding pull back risers.

I'm not a fan of pullbacks with apes from looks and function standpoint. What I have found is the risers change the weight center of gravity and wears on the bushings. Pullbacks with straighter bars or most stock bars are fine because there is a forward lean into the bar that corresponds with the direction of the riser. Apes on the other hand have a downward force that changes the center of gravity of the system. Just some mini-apes were enough to push more play into where the risers connected after a pretty short period when I had my low rider...and those were 4 inch pullbacks. Really its about what makes you comfortable and what you are comfortable looking at. If it were me, I would find apes that can find a comfortable position off a stubby riser and just angle the apes back accordingly. Unless its a severe clearance issue.
