Pricing out apes for my bike. Wild 1 seems to make great bars, and they are in the middle of the price range (you can spend A LOT more than them!). And everyone seems to love the Wild 1 apes. But I've also seen Khrome Werks and Cyclesmiths listed as good bars. And those are about $50+ less than the Wild Ones prices on-line.
So while I don't want to start a bar "war", I'm curious:
Are the KW and CS bars good bars? If you have them, let me know. If you've HAD them, let me know why you got rid of them.
If you have Wild 1's: why did you choose them? Are they worth the extra money? Why?
Ive got the wild ones on my roadglide, not apes but the RG model. look great but the right side has a bend from picking the bike up from the stand. guess I push on the bar to much. had them on for 5 years and that's the only thing wrong
