Note... that is not the final tank just a mock up tank while I build. Final tank is the exact same but it painted which is why it is not on the bike and the painted fender is taped.
Recently had to change from Springer back to conventional forks, I plan on replacing the clamps and fork lowers and head light with chrome/polished bits but in the process I want to swap bars. I am probably going to go to a 21" front rim as well.
I can't seem to decide or rather I can't be objective to myself so I figured I'd ask you guys. For apes I would go slightly lower 10" the pics below are 12", and go with the more modern down turned bat type whown in chrome below. Not exactly those I would have some custom built but this gives the idea, I think traditional apes don't really fit my bikes look as well as the newer ones would. I think. Hence this pose ha ha.
But this gives a sense below of where I am. Ape Hangers or Drag/Tracker type bars or something else entirely?
Can't decide on the look as it changes the character. I actually have custom Motion pro cables for both bar setups already.
I am sure people have views I may not want to see or have not realized so please.... Chime in and don't worry about offending. Any other or all opinions and options I would appreciate and welcome, just don;t be an overt dick about it
. I am sick of buying bars and front ends LOL, so I need to pick and when I am back in a few week move on with the build.
