Its already made the bike look better, more stretched, i also did a 2" tank lift so it maybe a combination of the two, i will try to get a picture posted as soon as i can.

That is one of the beauties of Apes, you can adjust the position until you find the sweet spot much easier than most any other type of bar. I have mine in a position that is extremely comfortable for long rides, I like my hands at shoulder height and with my monkey arms I needed them forward.
