13" Apes on the Glide??
I have been running the Chubby 575 bagger bars on my Street Glide for awhile now and am happy with them for the most part. I do think about the Cyclesmith 13" apes as it would give me about 3" more height than what I have now. Sometimes I feel like the 575's are a tad too low. It seems however that the 13" apes don't have as much pullback as the Chubbys (8.5" vs. 13" pullback) which might leave me reaching for the bars? Has anyone ridden with the 13" apes for comparison? Thanks........

I love apes, but I may be biased. For me, having my hand in front of my face is the most comfortable position (18" apes). I have seen a set of 16" bars made for your fairing. Where some do not like the look, comfort may be what you should think about.

I have cyclesmiths 13" apes on my EGC I am 6ft tall but dont have real long arms im happy with them they also make a 16",but the 13`s put the grips above the fairing so your hands are in the wind ,they are designed just for bikes with batwing fairing so they follow the fairing contour,as far as pullback you can adjust them back towards you a side benifit is as you bring them back they also drop down,I actually want mine just a bit further back but ive been lazy,also I had to change all the cables out to put the cyclesmiths on...
