Default Hill Country Cycles bars...

Is anyone running HCC apes? I'm thinking about getting the 12's for my 'train, but I'm not sure about the pullback. I don't want to feel like I'm running buckhorns. Pics and opinions would be great.

I like the custom chrome 12" apes, but they are 1". I'd prefer 1.25" thick bars.

TIA!

My son runs a set on his Wide Glide. I'm very impressed with the quality when you consider how low the price is compared to others. Pull back seems pretty standard for his 16" apes. The throttle and clutch cables didn't hold up very well though. They seemed to rust from the inside so he's thinking about painting them black.
