Default Roland Sands Ape

Ok guys, Just bought my 2010 Heritage last summer. Had a VRSCD but lord what an unwieldy beast. Anyway, I am ready to adjust the look and feel, starting with my bars. Anyone have or seen the Roland Sands King Ape in 16 " on an FLSTC? I like the look from pictures and will go with a similar look on my highway bars.

Also, I wand to keep the bike a long runner, wife and I look to road trip so comfort is a concern. Would love any input, all this modification stuff is new to me.

Thanks!

I bought a set and returned them. The El Diablo's are nice for half the money. mine are 18's, but they are almost identical to the King apes.

I only have the 12" vintage bars , but they are a pain to rerun your internal wires due to the way the parts are welded, they have narrow passages, same as the Apes, but i love them now that they are on. just my 2 cents
