16" Wild 1 Chubbys are nice... But I'm a little bias!

The stock MOCO's are made of metal that is just not strong enough to hold 16" Apes. My only bitch about the Wild 1 risers is that they are stubbies. About an inch shorter than stock. Other than that, they are rock freakin solid. Also, they are direct bolt ons. No bushings. Had switched over to poly's on the stock risers. I was surprised that I couldn't tell that much difference in handle bar vibration, if any at all. Dealt with the dudes at Wild 1 directly. Straight up people. Answered any questions and offered plenty of help. Would deal with them again, no complaints.

I have the same bars on mine, great quality, great company to work with. I have not had any problems with the stock risers, still holding tight after 3 years.

You might want to throw in some poly bushings while it's apart... rock solid!!!

I'm looking for apes similar to the stock Crossbones 10" ape bars but in chrome. Do any of you know if Flanders make one?

Any suggestions for my bike, handle bar wise? I'm 6'4" with stock bars and want to go bigger, about shoulder hight. I don't want anything narrow though.

Up here in New England, people are putting apes on everything. I can't decide on to either go for a set of knuckles or some wild1's outlawz. Anyone had both?
