Default Mini-Apes on a Deluxe

Has anyone put mini-apes on a Deluxe and have pics?
I had them on my Nightster and loved the feel compared to the stock bars
and was thinking about putting them on my new Deluxe.
I know I'll probably need to replace my stock cables, but I wanted to do
braided cables at some point anyway.

They would surprise you on how comfortable they really are compared to the stock Deluxe Bars.
&nbsp\\;
Mine are Wild1 Chubby's 12.5" with 1/2" Risers.
&nbsp\\;
I think the Harley Mini-Apes are 10" but not as wide.

Thanks for the pics.&nbsp\\;
It was the best mod on the Nightster, a lot more comfortable.
I'm looking forward to doing this with the Deluxe.

Doesn't it seem sought of odd with Pull-Back Risers?

I was trying to respond to this post right at the moment the forum was shut down for the upgrade. My Deluxe has a set of 13" high classic 1" diameter apes with shorty risers. Don't let people tell you that you have to have those big fat bars to run the wires internally! I know everyone else but me loves the fat bars, but sometimes they just look cartoonish to me. Just my preference.
