Hi All,
I am considering changing my handlebars on my 2005 Deluxe. I currently have the stock bars. If anyone has pics of a softail with 12" or 14" apes, I would appreciate if you post a pic. Also, do you like the bars and what brand? I have changed handlebars on a Road King, so I would be doing the install. Thanks for the help!
Look at my sig Pic. Those are 13 inch Hill country custom bars. Bought them as a complete kit, bars pre wired with connectors, cables switches and controls
I wont show the pics since my Apes are 16 & 18, but the quality of the apes after 10 years on my Softails is excellent (18 Wild One Psycho Apes and 16 Carlini Flying Apes). They both look like they did over 10 years ago when I purchased them. 👍
