Default Z bars pics

Thinking about getting some z bars but not 100% on size. How about some pics for comparison purposes?

Thanks

I had to cut these in 1/2 because they are 1&1/2" and where they go down to 1" to fit the speedo clamp was about a 1/2" off in the spacing,they work fine now Also didn't internal wire them,couldn't get around the bend and we were heading to Thunder the next morning. I don't use those mirrors either,they lasted a whole day but I like to see out of my mirrors,lol

Thanks for the pic so far.

TheLaw, have you ridden smaller apes before. Not sure if I want to do a 12" or 18", or somewhere between for that matter.

i had 10 inch z bars from licks on my iron, they were awesome and fit me great im 5'10. i wanted taller ones so i went to 16 nash midget gimps. for the price though you cant beat the 10 inch ones from licks and all your stock components fit, just gotta unbend the brake line a little(dont reccomend it but i did it while i waited for my new line)
