I'm picked up a 1997 Heritage Springer and I'm looking for handlebar ideas. I'm leaning towards 12"-14" apes with a narrow base but I would love to see what others have done.
Imo narrow base on a heritage wont look great. Wider base and maybe thicker bars fit the trees better. If it was a springer then Id be more for something more narrow.

I agree with your statement on a none springer. The bike Im buying is a springer. Hate the stock bars 🤢
Check out Carlini design. Top-quality. https://www.carlinidesign.com/
These are Carlini Menace 1.50 12" bars just to give you an idea of how narrow they are.

i just realized you said heritage springer. I havent seen many options in that case that look really good. The narrow bars I ever have seen look more like they need to be on a bobber. I did like my wild1z chubby springer bars, but dont think they great on a heritage springer.
I had a hell of a time finding bars that were narrow along the bottom for my springer. I think its due to the spacing. I ended up going with bars from Nash Motorcycle Co called Just Some Apes. Nice and narrow fit on my springer.
