Apes anyone?

Ok, I've been waiting for this thread. Years ago, I put a Heritage Softtail handlebar on my Road King to help with getting the bars closer to me without having to change out the cables. Heritage bars are the same as the Chubby 8 inch Baby Apes. I want a few inches higher and the wrists turned out more to help my hands to stop going numb. I wonder if the Chubby "Baby Apes" Would just bolt on. They are wider and have a better hand position. Yes, I already have the R3T Risers, but don't like the wrist angle.

The mechanic/machinist I use sucessfully bent (twisted) my bars to a better angle with no deterioration of the chrome. He removed them, put them in a vise and relocated the hand position by several degrees. Voila! New hand position for almost free.
