Looks to be a set of 14" bagger apes of some sort. Either Wild1s or Yaffes.

I've been looking myself. They look like Yaffe classic bagger apes 12". All the yaffe bars are pretty tall for their measurement. If they were wild ones they would be 1.25" the pic looks like 1" bars, at least on my phone they do.

Based upon the height and grip angle, they might be 12" H-D Batwing Mini Apes.

THESE are 12" Yaffe Classic Bagger Apes:

NOPE.... i take that back!!

i agree with FenderGuy53!! look at the location of the "bend" in the bars. the 12" Yaffe's have the bend farther down in the bar. the ones pictured have the bend higher up closer to the grips.
