Default mini apes vs drags.

sendin a bunch of stuff out for powdercoat. turn sigs, rear axel covers, triple trees, handle bars, dash panel, fork brace, headlight bucket, etc.
thinkin about maybe goin with some black mini apes instead of the drags. What do you guys think?

But everyone has apes. They are comfortable.

I like the mini apes that came on the stock SB...they are comfortable, but your bike looks great with the drag bars on it now...imo, I wouldn't change a thing.

I changed my mini apes out for street slamers last year. They're more comfortable and it looks better..... stick with the drags. your bike looks awesome as is!

Thanks! Mine are 8" rise powdercoated black with a chrome drag bar. I'll admit that I kinda copied Venturachop.

As far as comfort goes, I am way more comfortable with the drags and mids. I think the apes/forwards I had didn't go with my riding style.

I just went from mini apes to night train drag bars. I got everything from the risers up off a 2008 NT. I used all of the NT cables on the bob. It all fit well.
