Default Anybody got 10" ape pics?

Hey all,

I'm trying to figure out how a set of 10" apes are gonna look on my bike.
I've been trying to get rid of the short, uncomfortable drag bars that I have
on it. Any pics of a comperable size would be cool. Thanks in advance.

BTW, I looked through dozens of pages in other posts and couldn't find a pic.
Search only turned up 14's, 16's, and 18's...

These are roughly 11" but the pullback makes them feel like 10". Anyway, hope it helps.

Default Don't forget riser height, seat height, your height

They all play a role. Probably rake and whether you tip your bars forward or backward. But you prob already knew that. 10" HD mini-apes, on the BO stock 4" riser for reference.

How do you guys find the riding position for long rides?
I do two hours with these drag bars and I got a toothache in my shoulder...

I went up to Laconia in '12, and I had to take Aleve and use muscle rub to get through the
week of riding. This past year, didn't bother me too much. It did flare up at times.
I do have tendonitis in both shoulders, can't draw back a compound bow anymore.

Looking for a comfortable set of bars. Hoping these will do the trick....
