Default Mini ape with less pull back?
Hi, I really like the chrome 8" Biltwell chumps but I think I would like less than the 6.5" pull back. Is there a bar out there like this?
Thanks!
BTW I have a 2007 XL50

I've got the chumps and I really like em. My arms are short so they work well for me.

The HD mini apes has exactly the same pullback.

I had my mini apes almost vertical and it was nice like that. Some people run them at the same angle as the forks.

You'll like it when they're angled forward more.

Maybe the Biltwell friscos are the answer. They have a lot less sweep on them.

Check out hd heritage bars. I have them on my softail and love the position. I don't know the dimension but they have very little pull back.
