I'm looking to install ape hangers on my Wide Glide as a Winter project, and hoping some of you guys may have some photos of 14" to 18" bars on your Dynas to post for inspiration.

I'm presently running drag bars, which i really like, but am looking for a change.

I'm worried that once I install apes, I may grow to not like them. Even though the stock mini apes were comfortable on my Wide Glide, I didn't care for the look, though some taller and fatter bars may be more appealing.

Any photos and good/bad experiences with your ape installs would be much appreciated.

 

Here is a few pics of my 18' apes.

It's my first bike with apes and I love it. All my next bikes will have apes, next time I'll put 20'

 

I dont have a WG but I can say I think they look sweet with the Apes. Bobber proves that point

 

Here's a pic of mine with 16" Gimp Apes.

 

Mine are only 16's but I love them.

 

I dont know whos bike this is but i copied the pic because i quite liked the 14" apes.

here is mine with 14's and 3 in risers... there is one in there when they where still chrome before i powder coated them... they are perfect for me... right at shoulder level, i am 5'9... so with the stir ups on my forwards they are great!
