Not without a bit of work and fabrication. Search my posts to see how it's done.

Ride safe.

I posted these pics in the Crossbones thread in the Pictures section, but here they are again! A couple things that I recently did was:

- HD Narrow Beach Bars
- Round mirrors
- V&H True Duals with fishtails (Thanks to Skeezmachine!)





Most of my riding is 2-up with my wife, so these pics are usually how it looks:





Ride Safe,
Brian

Looks like you are in Illinois (I think I recognize a license plate in the background). Were you by chance by the Merchandise Mart yesterday?! I saw a bike just like yours. Same color, chrome springer front end, full rear fender w/tombstone taillight?

What apes are you running? They look amazing! I am happy with my beach bars but in anticipation of switching up the bike to a bobber next season I want to switch to apes.

That CVO of yours looks amazing!

Glad those pipes worked out for you! I found it hard to get rid of them but I realized that as great as they look, I needed something different for the look of my scoot. It makes me feel better about them being gone knowing that someone else out there is enjoying them on their ride.

Thanks brother. I am running the Carlini Flying Apes. they are 14inch and 1.50 thick and powder coated black. The 14's are the correct height for me... anything bigger and it just looked too tall. They do have a great pull back for comfortable riding depending on where you want them to fall.

If you go with the 1.50 bars you probably already know to change out the risers, but you have a couple of options. I wanted those risers you see on last picture so I had to change out the top plate for it. Carlini also has a set of risers that will bolt on to the Springer plate and no need to change out top plate, but there is only one style of riser for that (they still look bad ***). With bars that big and apes I wanted the specific risers that had the little tap screws(whatever they're called) in addition to the normal clamp screws. When you do that you can't move the bars at all and there is no play or movement whatsoever.

If you go that route hit me up and I can share a few pointers on it. Your scoot is looking bad *** too!
