Default Narrow Apes?
Who makes the narrowest ape hangers that would still look good on a fatboy?

Check out www.brcustomcycles.com, they make all kinds of wild stuff. I really like the bent ape beaters for my fatboy. I am thinking of putting this on my bike with a 16" rise, powdercoated black. I think black bars would look sick on your bike. They also make 1 off stuff too.

a little off topic but I like the way your bike looks with wheels and paint color.
I like those bars you have but those gimps would look pretty good.

If I remember correctly he needs more narrow bars so he can fit his bike into a door/gate or something.Good luck, I'm sure you'llfind something.

WHY ??

I think your bike looks GREAT as it is !!

I went with the chubby's so that i could hide the wireing. A bit of a bitch pulling the wires, but I really like the way it turned out.

Volk ... your bike is beautiful !!

That is correct Sir. I need some bars that are at most 33" or so. If I can find some that look good of a fatty, then I won't have to resort to getting drags and changing all my lines.
