Default Burly narrow apes. Anyone running them?

Looked at some in the Drag Specialties catalog at a local shop. 16" Burly narrow apes in black. Price was pretty good. I think 125 or so. The drag spec. risers 1.5 inch was 25.00 for the pair. cables 100.00 for all. Labor I am looking at 5 hrs. Total for the job is like 600.00. I know I could save half that if I tackle it myself. But back to the main question. Anyone running these bars and if so are you happy with them? Pics would be cool too!

I am looking to install on a 08 train. Thanks!

They look nice. Did you buy the kit that burly sells that comes with all correct cables? Or did you piece together by yourself? Also what is your height? I am just trying to get a comparison. I am around 6'2"

I bought everything separate. I am 5'11" and the bars are just above my shoulders, I really wish the were 18"s. Oh forgot, I am running 3" risers.

Bluegrass Phil has them on his crossbones but he had to change the riser spacing to do it. They are my favorite bar...Need to find something similiar with the bottom just wide enough for a springer front end!
