I like the burly brand narrow apes but will they fit? If not what will w the narrow classic look w the correct knurling on the bars? Any pointers/ part numbers/ pics will be appreciated

 

You'll find that you can replace the top tree plate with the Fat Springer Adapter Plate 2 from Carlini Designs - it's chrome so it matches right up. Once you do this, you can run any regular riser of your choice, and then you can run any regular handlebar.

Regular risers allow you to use a 1 piece top clamp, which will hold the bars better too. Springer risers are known for having the screws strip too.

As for narrow apes, have a look at the LA Choppers Nice Curves. I always suggest them for the springers because the bottom of the bars is no wider than the forks. They fit the bike so well.

Good luck!

 

Thanks Redbeard! I'll ck them out

 

If I get the adapter plate, can I still run the windshield.

 

Yes.

Post #4 of this thread shows the two items installed. It also shows the bars I mentioned before.

Keep in mind, I had the plate powder coated. Carlini only sells it in chrome.

Adaptor plate is the way to go

 

Wow. Nice bikes guys! Thanks for the help. If I just bought springer bars instead of custom narrow apes, would the stock risers be sturdy enough or would they be slippage? I love the idea of the adapter plate w a solid top clamp. It just looks sturdy

 

My Zombie Performance Bender Apes are super narrow, less than an inch on either side of the clamp (like the one shown above). 10 and 12 inch are standard but he can do any height you want. I got the knurling and internal wiring options. I think they look badass, they're like a cross between z-bar style and traditional apes.
