Those are some serious ape hangers. I have no idea what brand as so many companies make that exact style bar.

No idea, but they look ridiculous and awful on a Sportster.

Not a fan of the look. However, to me they appear similar to the
Hill Country Custom Hell Bent ape hangers.....

Looks are subjective, personally I love apes, but 16" is my limit, I had a pair of Nash Gimps on my Sporty, and they were extremely comfy, and the handling was fine.

These are Nash Gimps
