Mine are 13's. And the wobble I mentioned earlier is from the raked trees.

Seriously, I've got Harley mini Apes (10 1/2") and they aren't big enough.
Those 12 1/2" inches look prefect to me though.

Mate the FATBOY is one cool bike a mans bike not an old mans bike

They look naff with saddle bags windscreen and all those driving lights

But look cool with apes

Get the fat ones

I have 13" 1.1/2 bars with 1.1/2 risers they look way cool and wide 42 inches

Everybody who sees my bike loves the look others have already copied the ones I put on

Make sure they are FAT not skinny little 1" bars that looks naff

Very comfy Go for it

As the saying goes

FATBOYS RULE

She's probably afraid you're going to look too cool.As far as comfort I had beach bars before and find the apes to be more comfortable.I've never experienced the numbness in the hands like some of the haters talk about.

Man everytime I see that bike of yours it make me want to build one just like it
That bike is the shitz, you did a nice job with it.

back to main topic now
Ifn I had to ask permission each time I did somethin with the scoot
I'd be divorced by now
Actually it's reverse phsycology, I try to make em so uncomfortable
