I've been shopping for some 1 1/4" replacement bars for my '08 Heritage. When I sat on my bike the first time, the bars were perfect and I don't want to change the geometry. I do however want the 1 1/4" diameter for the looks and internal wiring.

All the aftermarket ones I've seen so far have the 1" center section for the riser...I don't want that. I have to get a new riser anyway, and my OCD won't abide knowing there's a 1" portion at the center of my bars...crazy I know.

Pointers?

LA choppers might have what your looking for or Wild 1.

 

Thanks - I've got an email in to Wild 1 since I don't see dimensions that match my bars (looking for something close).

Anyone know why the center portions of the bars are 1" stock? Just for convenience of using the old risers? What are the down sides?

 

Did you look the 12" Fat Mini apes in the P&A book. page 631 part #56832-04C

 

I did see the 12" apes...that's what I plan on going with if I can't find the 'Heritage' clones. From what I've seen, you can just barely get away with not changing the controls (I'll save that for a birthday present).

 

I've got both a set of H-D 12" minis and a set of Heritage bars at home. I'll compare the two when I get home. I think they were pretty close in dimensions last time I looked at them.

 

Here are a couple of pictures I took comparing the Heritage bars to a pair of Harley mini apes I had on my last bike.

 

Thanks for posting the pics- I have a 2015 Fatboy and have been thinking of installing the 12" mini apes

 

Would u need to change risers for the 1.25" bars?

 

Yes,unless u get bars with a 1" center.
