Default Anyone want to swap bars?

I know I'm grasping for straws here, but I'm seriously considering changing my black HD mini-apes to black full-on apes. Is anyone wanting to switch from their apes setup down to minis? I have the bars and all cables, which are the HD Diamond Black series to trade for your bars and cables. Like I said, I'm grasping here, but I remember reading long ago that someone was wanting to move down a little. Thanks.

What is your height and weight? I am about 6'2" and 225 or so. I am thinking of moving up to a small ape. From what I have read, it would help with my back/neck pain. I may buy them straightout if you find a replacement. I have never rode one with any kind of ape, so I am a little bit leary.

Thanx, RD

I'm 5'8", 260. These are really comfortable for me. I'm looking mainly for aesthetics, but I've ridden my buddied bike with apes and they felt fine. When I got my bike, I bought these and had them installed asap because the drag-type bars were uncomfortable to me, and I hadn't seen any Sporties with full-on apes.

Thanx for the info. I am going to roll my stock bars up straight, see how that feels. May get a mini-ape later.
