Default Thinking about mini apes for my RK

as you can see by the picture below I have some Wild One Handle bars on my bike. I love them but my wrists are slightly turned and causeing them to cramp on a long ride. I was wondering if a pair of mini apes would help in resolving this problem. If so what kind should I look into?

I had the same problem, went with a set of 14" from J&P cycles, sorry I don't have the part #, but they were only $50. The brake cable will need to be changed to a +6" from J&P cycles for $95. Installed all myself, no labor charge.

you can also use the road king pull back bars from HD, only about 40 something bucks and you can use the stock cables/lines. You just have to bend the metal part of the f/brake line a bit to make it longer. That's what I put on, and I like them, however I wish they were about 2 inches higher, but I still like'em.

Mini apes are nothing more than monkieys. Go for the gusto. You'll be glad you did.
