Default HCC Narrow Apes?

Has anyone installed the Narrow Apes from HCC? How different are they than the regular width? The actual measurement difference is minimal, but I'm trying to figure out how different they will actually look.

I have settled on 16's, but cant decided on the narrow or regular!!!

Call them and ask to measure. I spoke with hcc and their house brand bars measure ~13" od ath the bottom. Good fork width for a bike with aux lamps.

Rick, are your the narrow or wider bars?

Which bars are you comparing them to for "regular" width? I don't know if they're measured the same or not, but the narrow apes show a 7 inch center while the Wild 1 Chubby apes show a 10 inch center. I don't know if you can directly compare them or not.

Here is a couple pics of the bars still wrapped, that are the 16" narrow apes. I am still not home so I dont have a good pic of them on the bike, but maybe this will give a you a better idea of what they look like. hope that helps

Looking forward to seeing them unwrapped. I've been looking at narrow apes for awhile, leaning towards Paughco's Narrow Apes, or Burley's Narrow Glide Apes.

It's hard to find photos of ape hangers that aren't Carlini's on here.

i googled, looked on a few different forums, and nobody has them or would post a picture of the hccc narrow 16"s on a fx front end, so i just decided **** it and ordered them. they have plenty of burly and carlini all over the place, i didnt want anything wider that my trees, i almost went with the carlini i think they are evil apes, because they are the same width as the trees, but decided i like the traditional look better. Ram where are those rims man??????? haha. every time i see your bike i like it more and more.
