The base width is what I am worried about . Do not want the base wider than the front forks. RSD bars do look cool and are only 1 inch, but I think I will stick with the more traditional ape. After at least 1 1/4 chrome bars. There is not much out there. Harley has the so called 16 inch apes out, but look 12,s with 4 inch risers.

I was not able to find any 1 1/4" apes with a narrow base so I settled on 1". You may have to go custom.
