Default Mini Apes or Drag Bars?
Hey guys, its been a while. I hope everyone has been safe out there. I got a couple of requests. I hope you guys can indulge me. I'm wanting to down size my handlebars but I'm not sure what I want. If anyone has any pictures of their 1200 or 883 Customs with mini apes or drag bars I'd like to see them. I'd appreciate any help.

I agree, but its more hassle than I want. Not to mention the extra expense. Risers and speedo clamp are more than I'm wanting to spend. The factory stuff got stolen out of my storage along with alot of other things or I would just go back to those. I'm trying to get it to where I can trade it and still like it while I have it. Know what I mean?
