Actually the photos dont do it any justice. It looks really good in the flesh. The risers are 2 inch and are from BR (http://www.brcustomcycles.com/). I took my time deciding who I was going to go with. My second choice was RSD 12 inch apes, But they are only 1 inch bars. Soon as I get the time, all cables will be secured, I was just excited and took photos. BR is very good to deal with, not only is his work superb, but he cares about his customers.

I think my mind has been made up... those look sick brah!!! Bike is at the shop for some other work now. I was torn between apes or drags, but no question now... Next mod i'll be going with the apes. Question... how's the sitting position when on the freeway? With the stock bars on the rocker, i noticed when I was going 65MPH+ i would be pulling back on the bars too much... Nice job

Those bars are nice man. Your bike looks great, the only thing I would recommend is moving your signal lights down onto your forks. I think that would definitely finish it off and give it an even cleaner look. Good job man...

The bars & riser really give it a kick-*** look. Just when I got my Deuce about where I want it, now here's something else I just got to have, thanks, man. LOL

When I picked the bars, I looked very closely at the pullback and specs. My arms are below shoulder height and now I sit in the bike rather than over the top. I would like to move the blinkers to the forks, but the boys in blue don't like that. I think overall, I am happy as it is. Will look at chrome switch covers, handgrips and so on in the future. I made sure the bars align with the front forks.

Franky,

Sweet ride man. What length cables/hose did you have to go with on those bars? Also, you said that your arms are below shoulder height... how tall are you? Again, that's one sweet rocker!
