Default Apes and Windshield?

Hi,

I have the detachable HD Windshield, which I like, but I also really like the look of apes on the dyna, specially considering I just installed the Sundowner Solo seat!

Is anyone running apes with a visor? can I have some Pictures? not sure if it will look good or not!?

You will get used to it one way or the other. in the city just remove the shield,on long rides who can see it who matters anyway?! I have seen a few metric cruisers with that combo,it doesn't look that out of place. apes look great and the shield will enable you to take long rides in that position, JMO because I never tried a bike with apes!

I didn't like the looks of the visor with any of the bars that have been on my bike, so I finally replaced the headlight with a bottom mount unit. I think the apes and windshield combo look fine.

Here's mine all decked out with touring equipment. Best thing is, it takes less then a minute to strip down with detacheable windshield and backrest and easy brackets on the bags.
