I think Wild 1 Bagger apes only go to 14" but Carlini makes one called Electrified Apes, or something like that. It is listed by them as 15" but is actually 16" according to the diagram on the Carlini website.

just finally found cycle smith makes 16's for dressers. now just the debate wether to stay with my straight chubbys that are pulled back a bit or make the switch to the cyclesmith which looks like it would come out a bit then rise straight up. just wander howd it look when the fairings off.

go with yaffe
I must admit, the bagger bars on a king don't look nearly as bad as I thought they would.

Not possitive, but last I checked, LA Choppers made an ape that would work with a fairing. I have 18" on my rk custom, and I love them...Then again, I forget who makes the ganster bars, but it would seem that the gentle curve of those would work with a fairing, and they look great without a fairing, IMO. Besides, isn't a big deal to pull the bars back slightly when the fairing is on, and push them forward when the fairing is off. That's what I do with my bars, and it seems to hold fine for me...

How do you like the 16" Cyclesmiths? I currently have the 13" Cyclesmiths but I am contemplating moving up to the 16".

Thanks!
