Default Anyone using Bonanza bars?

I'm leaning towards Nash 14" apes for my next set of bars but came across these "bonanza bars" and wondered if anyone has any feedback on them. Let me know!

I've had the first and now got the second generation Fred Kodlin Santee Bonanza bars. I love them and you can't beat the price. I got the high narrow's, 15"

Oh and just so you know from my stock mini apes I used all stock cables. I had to rearrange them and move the clutch cable to the right down tube and straighten out the 90 degree bend in the throttle cable, but all is good and haven't had any problems.

Very cool. The price really threw me off! I have a wide glide front end on my softail and want something a little different. These may be the bars I go with, I was hoping to find a set of 1 1/4" diameter bars but I can't find a set for under $300. Is that wide glide front end on your bike, Jaron? I like how the wideth of the bars match it.

No its the stock Dyna midglide front end. Here's the custom chrome catalog with all their options for these bars. I could have swore they were making a 1 1/4" version, just not sure when they are coming out with it. A page back they have 1 1/4" bars, but a little different. You may want the wides for the wide glide front end.
