I know a lot of you guys are running BR bars. I am on the quest for which bars to go with. I gave Bill at BR a call. He was extremely helpful, and when the time comes to pull the trigger, he definitely earned my business. He seemed to be extremely knowledgeable and wants to make sure your bars are perfect. I hope I am not stepping on anyone's toes with this post, but I believe in giving credit where its due. Now I just have to get some of the extra parts I have sitting around moved out. After my long trip a few weeks ago, I have decided to put most of my cosmetic mods on hold in the name of comfort.

I looked everywhere for some apes for my Heritage. I wanted something that was custom and fit my theme better than the same bars that everyone else had. Nash came close, but they couldn't build to my specs. BR hit the nail on the head with no restrictions. I pulled the trigger on a set of 17" Swinger Apes built to my specs. I searched and found some flawless risers that match perfectly. This along with some front end changes should prove my bike unique. BR makes this possible. Be sure to look at his website and YouTube posts if you're in the market for some custom bars that stand out from the norm. I'll post pics as my build continues.

I love his style and selection, and obviously the quality is good, but that is some serious cash....I know you get what you pay for, but that seems like serious money. Very nice though....

They've got my business as well. Just ordered a set of new wave 2 apes from them. I saw the bars on another HDF members bike, and knew it right there that I'd be dealing with these guys. the fact that their service is A+ is a bonus.

I sent them a counterbored riser. BR is going to mount it on a triple tree and build the bars from there. Now that's custom. Can't wait to see the finished product.
