Question Apes and Stock Bars, Side-By-Side pics anyone?

So, I've seen many pics of them ON the bike.

Have any of you pics of the apes AND stock bars next to one-another (before install) for size comparison?

I think this will better help me get the *feel* of where the bars will be on my BatWing bike. An '09 EGS.

Specifically, but not limited to, L.A. Choppers 10" Twin Peaks (or the like).

TIA...

There are tons of those on here.. Do a search so we don't have to do the work for y.. If u know the basics u will know most aftermarket bars are 1.25" wide.. Stocks r 1.so there a 1/4" difference there that u prob won't be be able to tell from a pic and as far as rise.. Too many variations but I believe 10s will be roughly 2 "taller then what you have.. There's a *feel* for you

I'm sure plenty of people will be happy to do the search for you after that.

Hmm I don't see any links yet.. Wait around a few days.. Every bar questions gets asked everywhere.. When ur not so specific questions happens to get answered I'll post a link in here then send u a pm to let u know it's been done.. Hell I'll even call u and read it to u.. Maybe that kid in ur name needs to grow up a bit.. Ur mother isn't gonna surf the threads to find ur info

To be honest you can look at pics all day but if you really want to get a feel for what bars might fit you trying your local dealer to see if they have any used bikes with apes installed could help out a lot. Sitting on a bike close to yours and feeling the bars would give you a much better idea. Not sure how far you are from the nearest dealer or what size the dealership is but just giving you an idea that you might not have thought of. Helped me big time when I was trying to decide.

Here is a pic of my 10" Yaffe bars.

after
