Here is another shot of 12 1/2 inch 577 Wild ONES. I really like these and I'm glad I Didn't go with the 10 inch which I considered.

he will build them to whatever spec you want. They are a little pricey, but not that much more than the Yaffe bars, and, way more options as far as style goes.

Not much more if you get black. But if you want chrome it's another $200+ depending on the size of your bars. That's where it hurts.

I also like his bars though, and have been battling on whether or not to get a set from him for my Ultra.

So either the bars in chrome will cost an arm and a leg, or it will cost me an arm and a leg to black the bike out for getting black bars......

Might be cheaper to order them raw and get them chromed yourself.

Hi Coolerman

You mentioned shoulder pain....I have a disc problem and I feel like I am reaching with stock bars. Do you think having 10 inch apes would help me to not reach?
