Is there an associated pic to view? You want to know who makes the handlebars on an 06 Train?

What do you mean by "built"

It's a nightrain. Harley built it.

I hope you're not asking who put the bars on it? Who knows.....that's one of a gajillion nightrains out there with ape bars.

Why are you asking.

Looking to buy it ! Not sure if pipes were jetted properly, etc.... If it was dropped or whatever... just curious if the previous owner is around. If it is a needle in a haystack... i'll pull the post, but worth a try.... Any Apes out there that can justify / clarify the feel of 16" Apes on a lowered bike...?

Thanks

Sit in a chair in the ape position...does it feel natural to you?

Me personally...I don't like em. The mini apes on a Street Bob are pretty comfortable but any higher is not for me.

How do you know the bike is from Arizona? It looks like PA, based on the seller.

Higher apes are tiring over long distances. Drag bars can be the same. Comfort and "cool" are often inversely related. Good advice given to me a while back was to think twice before doing a bar swap and if I chose to do it, make sure I kpet the OEM stuff to go back if I want.

If you get that bike and decide you want to go with different bars, estimate $300-700 to complete the job. Add a few bucks for labor if you don't DIY.

Reality is I am only putting around the neighborhoods or trailer to country and events. Need something cool. I have the Big Valkyrie for Comfort. Love the Stock Train too.. Drag bars feel sweet also... Love the apes too... Never rode a bike with either. Dont want to be in the middle.... One or the other. If i go new, stock = more money to follow in Modifications.... and I am at my limit.? Time for me to decide.... Thanks for your thoughts...
