Default Which bars?

Hey everybody. I just picked up a 98 Night Train and I'm looking for some apes. I've picked out two kinds. My buddy is a Harley Tech and he says that some of the lower priced bars have bad wiring channels and will chafe your wires. I was just wondering if anybody can report on the quality of these 2 kinds of apes.

These are the my first choice. El DIablo apes

My 2nd choice. Bonanza bars

And for your viewing pleasure, here's a pic of my new bike.

Demons cycle has a bad rap around here, do a search. I'm a Todd's cycle fan myself, just put some 10" chubby strippers on mine.

Nice scoot and welcome to the circus! Looks more like a fatboy with a black engine!

Yeah that's a Nightrain logo on the tank, but the rest of the bike screams FatBoy.. and yeah, Demon's Cycle has a pretty bad reputation on this forum for some bad customer support

yeah, that's what it is. 98 night train with a fatboy/heritage front end. I have the fatboy wheels but I'm gonna polish em before I put them on.

As far as the apes go, I just like the pointy apes.. but i'm not gonna pay 400 for a set. I've read some of the posts about demons bad customer service but I havent heard about product quality
