Default Apes and hand position

I'm looking for 12" apes with a knuckle forward hand position on my 13 SG. I bought santee's and they angle back quite a bit. Does any one know which ones would fit the bill? Thanks in advance.

I believe these can be adjusted to fit the angle your looking for.

I think that Wild Ones has lots of hand-angle varieties.

I've got the 12" fat apes from Khromewerks that make my knuckles more forward facing which I also prefer.

I used this page for my decision:

http://www.khromewerks.com/handle_bars_specs.htm

I have the #300310, but they have the bars with the notch for TBW also.

Hope this helps!

Torch industries bar none the best.
They are over at www.custombaggerforum.com
Props to ness for the adjustable ones but no thanks on that. Too sketchy for me to have the top of my bars bolted on

Go to the HD shop and see if they have a set of Bat Wing apes in stock. They are 12" and the hand position is pretty much what your looking for. I have a set on my bike and didn't have to change any cables or extend any wires.

+1 on torch industries. Their wrist angle is 30 degrees much more comfortable than stock. The khromewerks are 41.3 degrees
