Question Cheap Apes

Are there any apes out there that have a 5-8" pullback that are reasonably priced? I'm thinking of getting a set of the Santee 1.25" apes for the RG but the pullback is 11" and I think that would be too much. I don't want to spend the $350 to get Carlini. Any ideas?

The apes themselves are only a small part of the costs. I'm running 16" CS apes, the cables, brake line and clutch cable cost far exceeded the cost of the bars. Mow going up to 19's, the bars were $140 from Midwest, the associated cables from Magnum will run over $300 ( some are custom length)

Well stated above. The bars are not expensive compared to the labor to get them installed and add in all the cable costs. Of course if you isntall them yourself you can get the Carlini's with part of the money you will save on the install.
