RSD Vintage Apes
Anyone have these? Im thinkin about gettin a set in black. Trying to see how they look on other bikes first so post pics if you have them.
And where can i get a good price? so far the cheapest was from RSD for $316.

My mistake. Thought it was on RSD. Its on other sites though, and its $319.95. Im really just interested in that style, not necessarily RSD. Got ideas of other bars for a better deal? 1.25" or 1.5" diameter, ~12" rise is what im lookin for.

First off, the RSD vintage bars are only 1" in diameter. A lot of guys on the forums have gone with Road 6 customs which makes a less expensive knock off of the RSD bars. My opinion that it is worth it to spend a little bit more for a far nicer bar. For that style, I still the the RSD's are the nicest around. But check out BER customs, they make really nice bars built to your spec.

Have the RSD's. Quality is top notch. Also check out the BR's. I know Todd's Cycle makes "stripper" apes, and I am not positive, but I think Todd's Cycle is known to be quality as well. Lot's of options. I could stand to have a little less "drop" on the grip part of the bars, so I personally would look at some other options unless you are dead set on that design. I wish my hands sat out a little more level on the bars FWIW.

I agree with Dr. VTwin,
I did go with the "older road6" bars, the new ones is nice, but now , given the amount of money spent on the bike I think I should have gone RSD.
No regrets here, but Dr. is right, go with RSD's
