Default Apes on Deluxe...Front pics needed

I've been looking at all these threads for months and have searched hundreds..probably thousands of times for apes. I've seen the Carlini, Wild 1's, and Burly on multiple bikes but what I am wanting to see...to help me decide which brand I want to go with....is pics from the front..straight on..of these brands on bikes. I keep going back and forth b/c of the different width of the bars and how they match up to the width of the triple tree and aux lights. It was suggested to me to go with Burly since they were wider and I have aux lights but I see so many ppl raving about the Carlinis and they are 3 in narrower at center width than the Burly Brands. Please help as I am going crazy trying to finally decide!!!

The stock Heritage bars are very narrow at the base. (partly why I don't like them). The bagger bars are wide as hell at the base to allow for all the gauges, stereos and stuff.

I went with these because they fit the fork better at the bottom.

Very helpful chart here.

Check out this thread. Theres probably a hundred of Deluxe's with apes. At least IMHO, a Deluxe with apes is the best looking motorcycle that money can buy right now. But thats just me. Start around page 300 and you can avoid a lot of the old posts that the links no longer work on.
