I've noticed most people like to go with the low rise bars or T bars. I like the look but not as comfortable for me. I chose to go with 12" mini ape Chubbies and 4 inch risers. Take a look and tell me what you think.
I saw a Deuce not too long ago that had apes on it and I didn't like the look at all. I thought they killed the lines of the Deuce. However, yours seem to work pretty good. The bike looks nice with those bars. I guess the one I saw had apes that were just too tall for the bike. Yours seem to follow the angle of the front end, and the others I saw were more straight up and down. I still like the look of the T-bars myself, but your bike looks pretty cool. The Deuce stands out of the Softail crowd on its own, and you made your bike stand out from the Deuce crowd.

He probably had taller bars. I tried the 16" apes and didn't like it either. Then I tried the 12" with the 4" riser. It was like night and day. I loved the look. Plus I kept the line straght withthe front end. That made a major difference in the look.I coupled that with the Corbin gunfighter deep bucket and now the bike fits me like it was custom built just for me.
Welcome Nola!!
I like the way you paid attention to keeping the bars in line with the front end. Good eye man. Is it just me or your Deuce looks like one of those old school choppers with those apes on there. You know the choppers where the rider is leaning back and the bars come back towards him.
Sorry guys, but it looks like it might be a while before I can take any new pics of my bike. Sunday afternoon my digital camera was dropped on blacktop and it landed right on the extended telephoto lens. The extended lens was completely bent out and away from the camera body so that was the end of that camera. [sm=smiley35.gif]
The problem is with all the money I just spent on my bike I have no extra money to go buy a new one right now. UnlessI can borrow one from someone or have someonetake pics of the bike for me and then e-mail them to me, it will probably be a few weeksbefore I can buy a new digital camera.
