Default West Eagle Narrow Apes

Is anybody running these on their Sporty? They have a 10 1/2" rise, 4 1/2" center width and 7" pullback. I'm thinking to put these on my 02 883C (after relocation the speedo and getting rid of the stock riser).

That or Lick's Super Narrow, Burly Narrow, Drag Narrow Glide...so many options, all in 10-12" depending on the brand.

Any input on any of the above bars will be welcome.

Vincent

Looks good, any other views of the ape hangers? And do they only come in chrome?

They only come in chrome and could only find that picture and that's the only one West Eagle sent me.

I wonder if I should get these or similar bars from other parts manufacturers. They all kinda look the same! lol

West eagle is out of business according to an email I received a few weeks ago.

Nothing better than a phone call. Drew, you are correct, they are out of business in a month - meaning their US retail point is closing then. They said it's possible to order parts and have them shipped from Japan directly or order through Custom Chrome which will still continue selling their stuff in the U.S.

Heyy all, just asking for your opinions, do you guys think that narrow apes are much more suited to sportster models?
