Has anyone seen one?
Thanks Sinister, they are the 12" I'm 6' and they fit me good. I would be willing to try some 14" but I'm very comfortable riding 4-5 hours no sweat, it's usually my friends on the less comfortable bikes that wanna head home!

Since I posted that I've been talking to a few people who have apes on their baggers and I'm now thinking about going with the 12". I'm 6'4" and think I may need something bigger than the 9". A guy I met last weekend was about my height and had 12" on his streetglide and recomended them for our height, but I was afraid my hands would fall asleep on long rides. Either way they're going to be black gloss along with everything else on the bike. I got the ok from the wife so it's time to start the transformation!

Thought my ride might be an original lol. I just bought a 2012 Electra Glide classic. Going with black 12", edge cut grips, levers, and highway pegs. will change more out as I go. Nice kick stand.

You might want to check out the LA Choppers Prime Apes. They are 13" and a little wider. I put them on my 2011 Ultra and they are awesome. I am 6' with long arms and they are shoulder height with the stock seat. I have them pushed as far forward as they could go. Perfect riding position for me.

Recently switched out the 9" LRS for a 6" LRS, makes the bars look even better. That is the 9" LRS in the pictures:

Just my .2 cents, I put the edge cut grips on my N Train and they were okay around town, but I grew to hate them on any sort of distance rides.
