09 Harley deluxe. looking for advise about changing bars-thinking about 14" apes - not sure of brand - wich I should go with-as far as quality and service

 

I'm pretty sure that you'll get a lot of different ideas on this but when I was looking for apes for my Springer, I bought some 16" chubbies from Wild 1 and I'm very happy with the service I got and the quality of the bars.

 

My best advice is whichever bars you end up going with make sure to buy riser clamps that you can pin. I have had two bikes with 14' apes. The first set was a cheaper no name set of bars and risers and I couldn't keep the bars tight to save my life, and it's not fun to hit a bump or hit the throttle hard and feel the bars move. On the second bike I went with Carlini bars and riser clamps and never had a problem. I really liked the apes but they definitely put more leverage on the clamps.

 

i got 14" Wild ONz chubbys, they are good bars i would suggest.

 

My exact bar. I'm 5'7" and its very comfortable.

 

Another vote the the Wild 1 chubbies. Outstanding service and they will back 'em up years after purchase. I'll never go anywhere else, as long as they stay the same.

 

thanks for info-very helpful-my first time on any forum-cool of u guys to help-thanks again-will check out wild1 and carlini-and definetly good advice about risers

 

Wild 1s are great...also check out Khrome Werks. Both offer great bars and selection. L.A. Choppers are good too. I've used all 3.
