Default New bars (pics)

Went to shorter bars because my finger (nerve damage) kept going numb with the apes. I really, really like these bars. It handles 30 times better than the apes, and better than when I had drag bars. They are the perfect width/height to really make this heavy old bike somehow feel nimble (until I start dragging crap!)

always thought the Mini apes, stock Heritage bars were and are the best for comfort of all the bars Ive had on all the bikes.

Are those Carlini Evil apes? I think these look MUCH better on your bike than the old bars (not that they looked bad). Sweet!!

They are 10" Chubby Strip Bars from Todd's Cycles. They are real similar to Evil Apes, just a bit more narrow and they are 1.25" diameter. The bike handles soooo much better with these bars it's retarded.
