I have an XL 883. I am puttin on some new bars but cant find what I like. I bought the 1200 C bars but still not what I want. I was thinkin of doin some mini apes. Anyone got some pics of theirs? Or what have you put on yours?

 

check out wild1's site and call them on a weekday great peeps to work with

 

Check out the 1200L bars not the 1200C bars. The 1200L bars are similar to mini apes and bring the bars up and back to you for a very comfortable position. I have an 05 1200C and put 1200L bars and have been very happy with them.

 

mini-buckhorns on my 1200C....very comfortable

 

I just bought khrome werks 12 inch narrow glide apes, I didn't like how most apes are so wide, especially with the narrow glide front end.

10" minis on mine for now.

 

kahaone- Looks nice. Thanks for the pic.

on another note, what all did you have to do on your forks?

 

Thanks. I had the frame cut and chopped to achieve that look. There are 4" extensions in the down-tubes, and an angled rake piece just under the seat. Then it's just 10" over stock fork tubes to complete it.
The Indy did a great job on the welding, even up close it is hard to tell where the extensions are. In fact, most people cannot find them, and I need to point them out.
Overall it came out nice. Rides fine too. It isn't too radical, but it is not the typical run-of-the-mill Sportster either.

I am actually considering chopping the rear to look similar to "goinsideways136";s Nightster. I think that with my front 1/2, and his back 1/2 it would look great! Still pondering the change over this winter though.

 

these are 12" narrow glide bars

 

The apes off a StreetBob, available at your HD shop, seem to look good on Sporty's IMHO. See pic below
