Not sure Clammy but match 'em against the engine guard which is 1 1/4", the engine guard looks like a clutch cable compared to the bars, those are killer looking, I have not been able to find 'em anywhere
Yeah, those things are monsters. I bet it was REALLY easy to run the wiring through them!

Do you know the owner of that bike?

Cheers!

Roger... that would be a negative... That ride was parked outside "Neptune's Net" in Malibu when I was there for LA meet and greet... The place was crowded and my only resource to find the bike's owner would have been sitting on the bike, but you know you wouldn't be talking to me right know hehehe

My guess is at least 2.5" for those... Over...

Mimo.

Test my memory, I need help. I got a 07 Fxwg with mini apes, ain't they like 12" high. If I was gonna go with some Phyco Chubby 1 1/4 bars. wouldn't the 12/5 bars be about like I have. Wouldn't I want to go with 14" bars if I'm 5'10" on my wide glide with my risers.

Not 100% sure about 07, but the standard mii-apes on Wide Glides were 1" diameter with a 10" rise on 1" risers. The bars on my Night Train are 1 1/4" diameter with 13" rise on stock Wide Glide risers (1"). Last year, I had a set of stock '05 WG minis on my bike. Here's a comaprison of the WG bars and the 13"ers I have now - the WG bars are in the top pic.

13" apes on stock WG 1" risers:

With "APES" I can braid my armpit hair and let it all hang out.........
I have "pit-locks" and my "APES" are good at blowing the critters out
