Default What apes for my glide??

Im looking for a set of 12.5 or 13" apes for my 2012 street glide, the wild one chubby 12.5" apes in black are my first choice because there 26" wide. I dont want really wide bars, the narrower the better for me. anyone know who makes narrow apes or are the wild 1 apes as narrow as it gets?

Jay

Check out the Monkey Bagger Bars by Paul Yaffe at Baggernation.com....never mind, I see the MBB's are 36" wide.

m.a.c.

Yeah the Yaffe's are 36" but they don't feel that wide. Very comfortable bars.

I had found a post a while back that had some nice apes that were pre-wired, they were more narrow then the Yaffee's. Looking for the name.... = useless post! Sorry

If you got bars, cables and wires that is a pretty good chunk of change you'd save. Handlebarlouie also sells these bars on ebay with free shipping too.

Like posted before yaffes are 36 but you don't notice it. I just picked up my street glide yesterday after having the 14" mbb's put in it and I'm loving it. Was gonna go with 12's but at the last minute I went with 14's, sure glad I did. Yaffe's are a little more money but the quality is top shelf.

Anyone use the khrome werks bars? they have black 12" bars that are a little over 34" wide. I bought a danny gray seat so I dont want to go too high on the apes since the seat is gonna drop me down alittle too. So far the width and pull back of the khrome werks bars look like what I want. Any opinions on these bars would be very helpful.
