Damn dude that sucks that you have to take off the apes for something skinnier. They really do look good on there.

Any regular set of apes will be narrower than chubbys. Are you looking for a total width of 33" with your grips installed, or just 33" wide bars?

Yes, I need them to be about 33" with the grips installed.

Who makes the narrowest ape hangers that would still look good on a fatboy?
I went with the chubby's so that i could hide the wireing.
Just as a note running wires is a bitch but, I was able to run all of tghe wires on a Road Glide through a set of Gimps. That includes radio, cruze and all of the bagger button and stuff he has. All I remeber it was twice the wires that I had to run on my bike.

Here is a pic.

My heritage is currently underconstruction, but here is a rear view pick with the 18" gimps. Ignore the mirrors, those are stock and will be replaced.

Other than needing narrow apes to fit through a door, how do these Gimps handle; or I guess what I am asking is: being narrow, can you get as good leverage to make turns as you can say with Wild Ones?

Not yet. That pic was taken yesterday and the bike should be ready for paint by the end of the week, hopefully. I'll get some asap...

boardnxtx,

Hey man where did you get the rear fender? Can you post a side shot. I am looking for something like that.
