I have 16 inch Wild 1's and don't like them much. As mentioned, I would look at Carlini, Burly, Drag Specialties or maybe Yaffe. The only real difference that effects the newer "throttle By Wire" (TBW) bikes, is the right bar end is notched to accept the TBW. So you have to looked for the notched bar end bars, not the standard apes.

I installed 16" LA Chopper Slim ***** apes at first but decided i like the looks of the 1.5 bars way better so I put on some Carlini Gangsta apes and love them. My buddy just got some apes for his Road King and I notched the end of them with my Dremel so they would work with his TBW.

You need to cut a half ice off the bar and notch it. Check out side road cycles site , it will show you the dimensions. They also sell apes

I really appreciate it. Thanks for the compliment.
