Default bars help
i have 08 nightster with a 250 tire kit on it. i have drag bars on it now but I need to sit up a lil more. So heres the question i really like apes but i think it might look werid with the fat tire the other option is to put some taller risers onit but dont want it to look outta place.

Thanks for all you help.

Doesn't look weird with apes, unless you think apes look weird to begin with.

Nice! looks like you still got some things to button up on the rear. what are your plans for the fender struts, chopn them? how bout the seat? i think the stock seat actually looks good on there with the wide tire, just my 2 *** hairs.

those bars on pixie's bike are chubby nash grit hangers, nash makes some nice stuff man but they aren't cheap. set of those will set you back 2 bills or more. apes would look awesome on there tho, good luck and take some pics of that thing when it's done.
