Default Who makes 2 inch thick ape hangers??

I currently have 1 1/4 inch thick 16 inch ape hangers on my 09 RK. I've been wanting to change up my bars. I really like the look of thicker bars. The common size seems to be 1.25 and 1.5 inch thick bars. The 1.5 thick look good, but I've seen a few bikes with 2 inch thick bars. IMO I think they look absolutely killer. Does anybody have any recommendations? I really like the meat hook style ape hangers, and would like to find them in 2 inch diameter. I did come across Burleigh bars out of Australia, but they don't make 16 or 18 inch apes in 2 inch thick anymore.

Burleigh bars in Austrailia makes 2" bars, I have them on my 2017 RKS. Amazing bars. EXPENSIVE though. So be warned.

Well, I've been waiting for the next goofy fad to come along and it seems that the wait is over. I bet that bagger nation dude Paul Yabbe and probably what's left of OCC will jump on that stuff like crazy.

I can’t find 2 inch apes on their site; do they not offer them anymore? Or do you have to call them? And when you say expensive...how much? They look super sick! That picture I posted is of 2 inch Burleigh bars on a RK.

I think their website is very outdated. Email them. Keep in mind these are custom made for your bike. Plus stainless steel. Mine are powder coated black though. I have 14"s and they are probably double what a regular set costs, plus it was $150 just for shipping.

Would you say it’s worth it? Any pics of your bike with them?
