Default Ape hanger help
I've been in the market for some apes for a while & haven't found anything so here I am...

on my last bike, nightrain, I had drag bars with built in 2inch risers & they were 37" grip to grip. they killed my upper back/shoulders on rides longer than 1 hour but i lived with it. I rode my buddy's club style dyna with 30" drapes (12" tall drag bars) & the pain was immediatly gone.

So I've been looking for a set of 32-34" grip-grip width 18" apes & having no luck. any help is apreciated.
