I have run both these bars and had occasion to measure them.

Were the classic bars more angled where your hands go? I seen to remember them being a bit different

I'm getting ready to put a set of 16"x 1.5" Chubby Apes on my R3 Tourer. Luv'd the 16"x 1" I had on my Indian Chief.

Yes, they swept back a little more accounting for the 2.5 inch narrower width.

Good catch, Chris. I screwed up and forgot to put them on the diagram.
Classic is 11 inches and Roadster is 9.5 inches.

I have run apes, both 16" and 18", on other motors, but not - never on my roadster.

I have fixed my graphic regarding the omitted pullback in post #1.
Gratitude Chris @barbagris!

Steve - I still think some of the best documented dimensions are to be found on Kromewerks web

This is simply an example.
