Fxsts handle bar help please!!!
I have a 04 and just can't stand the looks of the apes that have the wide center, it make the front end look ll out of balance. They don't have the look in my book.
Don't get me wrong I do like the rise a lot.
Looked at all the pics I could find and it seem's no one has anything really different on a fxsts.
Anyone know of anything that will work on one of these bike and look good?
Something chopperey kinda looking?

Funny you ask....
I'm in the midst of a Mini-Ape install on my Train.
I ordered 2 pairs and kinda mocked em' both up.
Pair #1 was the standard diszed Mini Ape with 8" center and 34" tipt to tip...They looked wrong as I expected they would.
Pair #2 Is a set of Krome Weks Narrow Mini Apes. 5" center, 31" tip to tip, 7 of pullback. They are perfect. Just picked them up from the powdercoaters. They give that kinda Jesse Rooke Stingray effect without having to do a RSD style "Vintage Bar".....
They are only like $60.00 and come dimpled and knurled. I did hafta to drill em' so I can run my wires internally....
I think your springer is what 4.25 wide at the riser mounts?
What about a set of Nash midget gimps?:http://www.streetchopperweb.com/tech.../photo_13.html
I havent seen many of the narrow type for the springer due to your wider mounting points. If anyone knew where you get a set of the classic basic apes with a narrow bottom and correct knurlage for springers it would be these dudes:http://www.jeris-springer.com/contact.html
Or you do a set of Road6 bars...Narrow bottoms for sure. Get em' on E-Bizzle fer $130.00 bucks..I think they are a good value compared to the big bucks required to ride with Roland!!

I have an 2007 Heritage Classic. I do not like the bars on it. I have to reach too far. I am looking for someone who changed out their 2009 Heritage Stock Bars. If you know of anyone PM me please.

KICKS,
I had the 16" Road 6 Customs on my '04 FXST...I did not like them so, they would be for sale! Slightly used and already drilled for internal wireing.
They are a lot narrower looking than the traditional apehanger.
Send me a PM if you are interested...not looking to make a killing on them either.
