I am currently doing research for mini apes and not exactly sure if I want chrome or black. I have a 2012 denim black street glide and not exactly sure what the contrast would look like with vivid black bars. I want to keep all the controls black, change the grips with the diamond black collection, and the levers will black also. I was wondering if you had any pics of any of this. Long shot I guess.

thanks
Jim

 

I agree with you go with the black bars. I hope this pic my help a little.

 

Black mini apes with black levers and black diamond grips:





The second picture is from before I relocated the mirrors down 1" to keep some functionality.

 

Thank you guys. Thats perfect. I think my mind is made. Cpt America, what size bars are those? They do render the mirrors quite useless. Glad that you were able to lower them an inch. Did that make a huge difference?

 

I had a denim Fatboy Lo with gloss black vintage apes (sig pic) and never liked the contrast but it did match the front end which was all vivid. If I could do it all over again I'd powdercoat them.

 

They are the Road6 Customs 10" mini apes. They are 1" diameter bars. After relocating the mirrors 1" lower they are useable. Not like stock but I can see behind me instead of looking at my knuckles.
