The "mini apes" you describe are, to me, not "apes" at all. Just a reasonable relocation of the bars to accommodate us "Westerners; " after all, Japanese are shorter than we are, and so without the mods the riding position is a bit of a lean forward. Not like these bars which have a person's hands almost stretching to the max over his head... I wish I would have known about that kind of bar when I had my 550 Four in P.R. My back would be sore after a long ride... Stanley

The bars I currently have on my 'hawk are 10" tall with 10" sweep back. That, coupled with the CB crashbar and highway pegs, makes it a lot more comfy to ride. http://nighthawk_lovers.googlegroups.com/web/55.jpg?gda=irH5iTgAAABVefAEYqT23cNa1UzE5De6w-vv4b9he_HBHOLqaTXYRiXsvSfivU6VZzQVaifFY-IaNWB3A2L4HCtTMEZPaE7O (pegs aren't on in this picture) On Mon, Mar 23, 2009 at 12:55 PM, Creative Residential Designs <[email protected]> wrote: > My Harley has what's called mini-apes.
