I will be heading home in a bit and I will have some pics for you then. I will post some pics with my 12.5" mini apes and then with the 16" apes. For me, my hands are right above shoulder level. As far as my risers I would say they are 1" but they were on the bike when I bought it.

Sorry bro. When you live in Washington State you try to ride whenever you can. Hope these help you some. And my bad in an earlier post. They are 1 1/4 16" Chubbies, not 1 1/2. Either way, they are much better than the 12.5" I had on there.

Thanks Sofmech. I am going to have to mock up a set of 1 1/2" bars to try out before I dump the coin on the real deal. Just to make sure that they will be acceptable with their 41" width compared to the 1 1/4" bars that were on my last bike that had about a 37" width.

Ghost, take a look see at Carlini's Pist apes and the Evil Apes. Think maybe thats what you're for lil brother. 41" wide for short phuckers like us sux, both those bars are only 34.5" wide. Thing to remember is Carlini apes run 1.5-2" higher than normal. If you like what you see call em up and verify that height.

Thanks for the info Tampa. The issue I see is that I prefer the looks of the rounded flowing curves on apes and not the sharp corners. If I have to end up going with 1 1/4" bars then I will install a set of Wild1 1 1/4"x16". For two reasons. First, I have owned them in the past so I know they are top quality bars which have enough pullback to get your wrists in just the right position. Secondly, the Wild1 bars can be had for around $200.00 compared to the Carlini brand at $315.00. I can buy a lot of gas with $115.00.
