Has anyone put mini-apes on a Deluxe and have pics?
I had them on my Nightster and loved the feel compared to the stock bars
and was thinking about putting them on my new Deluxe.
I know I'll probably need to replace my stock cables, but I wanted to do
braided cables at some point anyway.
They would surprise you on how comfortable they really are compared to the stock Deluxe Bars.

Mine are Wild1 Chubby's 12.5" with 1/2" Risers.

I think the Harley Mini-Apes are 10" but not as wide.

I was trying to respond to this post right at the moment the forum was shut down for the upgrade. My Deluxe has a set of 13" high classic 1" diameter apes with shorty risers. Don't let people tell you that you have to have those big fat bars to run the wires internally! I know everyone else but me loves the fat bars, but sometimes they just look cartoonish to me. Just my preference.
