Burly 12" apes

Looks nice but I cant go for the 14 as they will be too huge as I have the 6 inch stock riser. What I am worried about is the wall tubing thickness of the apes. Based on my research 0.120" wall tubing is the best. Majority of the 1.25" thickness bars are built from 0.120" tubing but unfortunately none are available for my sportster model which has a 5.5" wide 1" thickness clamping section.
So next option is 0.120" wall tubing on 1" bars but till mow found only Biltwell bars being made from that thick wall tubing. Rest 1" bars are either 0.090" or 0.100.
Not sure how good would be a lower wall thickness considering vibration and strength.

That's why I am thinking of going the non HD route.
