Are those the Burly narrows with the 5" center? They look wider than that to me.

Gray,
First, I hate you guys with warm weather. No, really I do. Ok. I'm just jealous. Great looking apes and upper forks.

Hey Danny D. Sometimes I forget how lucky I am to be living in Southern California. Today is a perfect example. It's 10am, air temp around 67 degrees, just a perfect blue sky kind of a day to go riding. There's only only one problem. My bike is locked up over at the Cycledoctor Shop in Costa Mesa where it is patiently waiting its turn for a little Heavy Breather + TTS Mastertune + Dyno action. So no riding is going to happen today.

They look good. Your RSD looked pretty damn good too, but I bet the comfort is a lot better with the apes. I am slowly getting mine done. Next time I will wait until everything comes in to tear my bike down. I could have been riding all weekend.

Well, after riding for a better part of the day riding in sunny So Cal (sorry that was mean), Im sold. The bars were super comfortable, much more than the short stacks I had on before. Takes a little getting used to the slow speed turning, but other than that, Im digging them. I have to pay some respect here, the style of bars was inspired by our dearly departed Chaz and his outside the box way of thinking. RIP brother, you are truely missed.
