Babs,
I would not mess with anything less than 12.5 apes. I am starting to think 16s are the best choice. I bought a new set of 12.5 Wild Ones, the fat risers, stainless cables and skirted top clamp for my Deluxe. I have not put them on yet because I was waiting on the top clamp. Meanwhile, I have been looking at pictures of bikes with apes and I am starting to think I should have went with 16s.

Man!! Nice scoot! Yep, that confirms it.. That's the size apes I want. The 502's are great.
I have thought about cutting costs by going this route...
Buffalo Bars
DS-300343 $125.95 drag price
End Rise: 11.5”
Width: 36.0”
Center Width: 10.5”
Pullback: 12.0”
verses
Wild 1's
21-0272 bikers choice# 10108 CCI# $204.95
End Rise: 12.5"
Width: 36.5"
Center Width: 10"
Pullback: 12"
Any thoughts? That does seem like quite a price difference. Wonder what the difference is? Wild 1 states the bars are actually two pipes sleeved, then bent cut and finished together as one bar with outter and inner diameters.

Finally a bike cool enough to show to the wife to convince her that this is the way to go since I have to share ours.[:@][:@]

Well I finally got the apes I bought months ago installed. I can't say enough about how happy I am that I went with the Chubby 502's. With the +6 Barnett cables. I put over 250 miles on it last night on a PGR Escort mission, and not the least bit of shoulder fatigue.

I'd vote for this 'perdy heritage'.

RE: Finally got the WO502's installed
stratplexi I was concerned about going too high with the apes because I do have a bad shoulder. But after riding this week on these I believe I could have gone with 14 or even 16's and still been comfortable. I'm one of those long arm and legged freaks so it would just depend on what you're comfortable with yourself. I do like the looks of the 16's on my buddies RK and almost went ahead and ordered them. But I'm happy with the 12.5's. The wife likes them as well and I will most likely be getting here a set for her Dyna.
Cool Dog and Babs, Thanks for the complement. If she is truly going to be a BOTM nominee, then I will have to clean her up quite a bit. These pics are after a couple of days of long riding.

I have decided to go with 16s and have everything you need for 12.5s and I will make you a great deal.
