I am a fan of the narrow apes also on the fx front end. I am a bit bias, but like you, I love the wild 1 chubby outlawz.

First there is no other choice but apes on fxst .
Wild one were super uncomfortable (very wide) and really did not suite the bike look. I had the 10" mini apes.

I have now the Flanders Buckhorns +2" rolled forward they are perfect for my 5'9 height. they have +4" as well, I like the narrow look, suites the bike a lot more

Don't forget Carlini. They make some of the best looking bars imho.

Do it, you won't regret it! They flow very well with the front end.

Buckhorns are very comfortable if you keep them adjusted down like this. Your wrist will not be bent at all, at least for me. I am 6'1" and have fairly long arms. I don't think I would like my arms up where the bugs would be hitting me like I was inviting them in. It does seem like only a handful of us like them though.
