Roaring Toyz NEW $299 Mini Apes

Hi all,

Seems Roaring Toyz have a new option for handlebars. It's a 12" mini ape that requires no changing of hoses/extension of wires. Retail for $299.

http://www.buynowroaringtoyz.com/Vul...p/vaqbar12.htm

I noticed this just one day after I ordered my $599 1" taller bars. Anyhow, there's a new option for people that more reasonably priced.

I've had the bars sent to a friend in NY who's forwarding them to me in Australia.
This particular friend has just had his first baby and I don't wanna push it as I'm sure he's flat out.
I'll take a hit on this one, I'm kind of looking forward to the wiring extending as I've never done it before.

Based on the body mass and those amazing abs, I would guess those are saline instead of muscle.

If anyone wants a set I have a set for sale. Bought them yesterday and they arrived today. Mocked them up and pulled them. I'll try and get pics up. Just got a job at a HD dealer today and selling off things I am not using or don't want to get rid of with the bike. I'll sell em for what I paid. Was like $349 shipped.

Congrats on the new job. I once worked at an HD dealer and they were good years.

May I ask why you're not into them, even though they're brand new?

Good luck. I sent mine back because they stretched the front brake line too tight. At full steering to the left the inner fairing push3d the brake line. Brad said they fit without issue and couldn't explain why my bike had issues. I also know the builder who makes them for Roaring as was told even with the 12in they will need new brake lines.

We expect full details of fit/fitness/quality and most important, work-a-bility.
Clearance, hose fitment, etc.

Looking forward to full report!

Congratulations and good luck!
