Default "new" HD mini apes for Batwings?
Anybody tried these yet? They kind of look like the cyclesmiths 13s.

The Wild Ones are very popular on this board and I bought a set of Wild One 0575s, which give you 2 inches up and 2 inches back.

Many guys go for the taller ones, but these were perfect for me.

The link is for the taller ones, which have a 12.5' rise. These are great looking bars.

I personally think they will have a hard time selling a bunch of these. They are only 1" bars and they are quite expensive for that diameter. Many comparable 1" bars can be found for about $100 and thicker bars are only marginally more.

I applaud their effort to cash in on the bagger ape craze, but I think there are much better options out there.

Have to admit it's nice that they have the cables all figured out so they match the application.

Again, they are late to that party as well. When I ordered my Prime Apes from LA Choppers, I also ordered a wiring extension kit and all the need cables in the correct length. I know other companies do that as well. All my dealer will have to do is solder the wires and switch out the cables to install my bars.
