Default H D Fat Mini Apes?

Anyone know of good or badness about the HD mini fat ape hangers part #56832-04
I know you have to change the risers but I like the look of the fat risers.
HD apes do not reduce size in the middle.

I know “mini apes” sounds funny.
Kinda sounds like what kind of cat goes with my dog?

I have read many threads & seen many apes installed on bikes. But I have never seen these.
Any body got them? If so how about a pic.

Just bought used bars with risers. Mine are off a 07 Wide Glide - same bar. I have not mounted them yet. As you mentioned, the only concern I have regarding looks is that the bottom profile is not very wide compared to the stock FB bars or other apes. It may look nice though, being a bit more stream lined and the same width of the forks, not wide like everyone else's bars

Not the best pic, but the bars look very similar. Probably 1 inch and same shape to the bars you are asking about.
