There are several threads, but it didn't answer my question. I'm looking for apes on my street glide. I have 16" apes + 2" riser on my RK and want the same on a fairing bike. The only trick is my RK has the apes have an obtuse angle (past the forks) but just slightly. They are forward enough to touch the windshield. What are apes that would give the same effect on a fairing bike? I like the pointy ones.
Something like this, but I want my hands to be right in line with the fairing (not much pullback). I'm 6'3" and it's mostly in my torso, so I need a lot of arm room.
Ok so u want the most popular style of bar.. Kst mayhems.. Yaffe monkey bars. LA choppers peaks.. And the list goes on.. Kst is the cheapest and we'll made.. All basically the same.. Mine are 14s. I'd rather have 16

KSTs can't go forward enough as OP indicated he wants it, they're 1" too wide at the base to fit the grooves in the fairing.
They ARE, however, rather wide at the handles. They're 40"-41" at the ends of the grips, so you may find you don't need them that far forward. On install, I pushed mine pretty far forward, I'm 6'3" tall.. I have 14"s and have since pulled them back twice now, they're still a bit too far out for my comfort. I have some 12" KSTs too. Gonna try those probably pretty soon.

Not to hijack , you wanna sell the 14" Mayhems I am thinking about putting them on my RK.
Op the Mayhems are my favorites and I had them pushed as far forward as they would for a offset look on a 13 sg they are a comfortable bar.
I think I know what you're asking. You want your hands close to the fairing, correct? My Yaffe 12" Monkey Bagger Bars shown below have quite a curve in the tube that allows it to hug the inner fairing pretty well. In this picture the bars are actually pulled back quite a bit to adjust to my preferred reach. When they are pushed forward they are pretty damn close to the fairing and windshield. And you can't tell by the photo but these are the "pointy" style bars you are referring to.
