Default Someone made a handlebar comparison chart

A month or so ago, I saw a thread where someone had taken the time to enter the dimensions of some of the popular aftermarket handlebars into a table.

I didn't save it, because I thought it would be easy to find again.
If anyone can help me find it, I would appreciate it.

It was not me, and unfortunately I do not know who the author was. However, I did save the chart (attached here). Kudos to whomever put it together, I am only the messenger.

Looks like it's just an ape comparison and not a true bar comparison. I think the whole world is jumping in the ape bandwagon. There are still a few of us who are using other bars than apes!

My guess is the original author was only interested in Apes. And I don't think he (she?) said it was a comprehensive list, but said he thought it might be useful to others. I kept it to as a starting point for my own comparison, when I get to that point.

Thanks, That is the chart I was remembering, but I didn't realize it was just apes. I'm not looking at apes either, just trying to find something comfortable.

I don't know if I'd call the Wild One Bagger Bars Apes. I have them and my hands are still behind the Batwing. The major difference over stock was they are a lot wider and a little higher but way more comfortable.
