Chazmanian's bars?
First, I hold the highest respect for Chazmanian and his posts will be missed.
I have a 2005 Night Train and today started to tear into it. In my opinion, the black Apes on Chazmanian's bike are the perfect size and shape. I've looked all over the place and can't quite duplicate the bend and look. Can anyone identify the brand? Is it OK to put narrow apes on a wide glide front end?
Lastly, I'll be slamming it 2" front and rear. Some say this will be too much but I see a lot of bikes here that look like they are at least that low. Problems?
Again, thanks Chazmanian for all you wonderful posts.

The bends look the same but I'm not seeing them in black. Burly has some similar ones too but I'm guessing I'll not be able to use my heated hand grips with internal wires, especially with one inch bars.
Cold out. Man they were nice yesterday!

"Heres mine with a set of 12" Krome Werks mini apes, Powdercoted black & mounted on a 1.5 riser off a heritage. My thing was to get a set of bars that were narrow at the base. I alos wanted a bar without too much pullback. Henece although these bars are only 12" mini's they look and ride taller as they arent square like the 12's with the wide base."
