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 won’t 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. 👍

 

These are 12" by 2" diameter Hell Bent Bars. Very comfortable and fun to ride!!

 

Mini apes, Khromewerks, 10 inch

 

It's not a Delux. My Softail custom with 14"

 

14" Carlini Flying Apes. I used to get numb wrists and elbows until switching to apes. Glad I did it.....

 

when is comes to handlebars I will always recommend wild 1 chubbys 100%. had them on all my bikes and will have them on all my future bikes.

 

Yup- l luv the old traditional round bends and great quality i might add. I'm 5'6 and run a 16 though.

 

I have 14" Carlini gangsters on my Heritage. They are perfect for me and I'm about 5' 9". I'll post some pics...need to find them on my phone.
