I am not big on Ape hangers , but they do look good on certain bikes.. Ie Street Bob and Crossbones, but they dont look good on the Fat Bob IMHO

I'm not saying they don't look good on some setups (I won't say bikes because they can be setup to look good on most any bike). I just think I'd care to ride with them. Just personal preference - not dis'ing anyone. But, like I said, maybe I shouldn't knock it til I try it. But sittin in a recliner with a motor doesn't sound like my thing anyway. LOL [8D]

Me too. Kinda digging the pipes. What are those? V&H's? Waht do they run price wise? Looking at the short shots in black for the crimson demin Bob.

They do look kinda cool but I'd never put them on my own bike because a) they expose that really ugly swingarm, and b) they create a completely new visual axis that's nowhere else to be found on the entire bike ... see the green lines below
Certainly not dissing them, to each their own - just not for me

If you try them you won't want to lean forward again

As far as the sideshots or any other short pipes go, I like them and don't mind showing my swingarm at all. Dress up that arm a little bit and it's no problem.

RE: Fat Bob with Apes & Sideshots
Ya' know.......the black ceramic side shots were $359.00 when I looked at them in October for a November release date.
It's hard to believe they think they can get away with that kind price hike with a recession looming..[:@]
...not that I would ever put short pipes on my bike, too close to the ears.
<edit> that was the short shots that were coming out.....I didn't consider the side shots to get a price. sorry about the mix up[8D]
