RE: Apes???
I am a huge fan of apes... but your bike just seems to look better (imho) with the stock bars. Or maybe pullback t-bars. With the low flowing lines of your bike, and your choice of VH big radius pipes, I say apes would distort the look.
Maybe save all the green your gonna make in Iraq, and build something cool when you get back. (like a bobber or or cafe racer, or pimped out ice-cream truck.) But your lowrider stands on it's own... don't over do it. Just my opinion though.

RE: Apes???
As much as I love my apes....I gotta tell ya, your bike with the low bars is one of the slickest looking bikes around. Not saying I dont like it with apes but I like it more without.

RE: Apes???
Yeah, I agree, it just doesn't look right with Apes. I had them photoshopped on when I decided to change my bars to hide the wiring. I at least had to see what it would look like. I love the look of the stock bars on my bike.

RE: Apes???
I agree about the apes looking funny on your bike. The BR pipes just don't look right to me with them, they do however look great on a low slung bike like yours.

RE: Apes???
Isn't that funny how something like the bars or pipes can change the whole look of someone's bike? I'm not really a huge Ape fan, but some of the Bobs on this forum look incredible with them and would so wrong without them. The bars and pipes must be focal points on a bike that automatically draw your eyes to them.

She might understand.My wife and I will both be going to iraq this year... hopefuly together though. She will want a bike of her own for sure, so I might not get to get a new one for "myself"... just ride "hers"!
