I have to ask, no offense to anyone. How can a bike handle worth a **** with apes ? Unless you are just going 30 in a straight line. I imagine on the ridiculously tall ones, circulation to your hands would be an issue ? I love all things classic and old school, but never " got " apes. Why the love ?

I don't think this has ever been asked before...anyone have an answer? I doubt anyone has an opinion on this WarLizard. Sorry. On a hunch you might look here www.hdforums.com/forum/search.php

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread...

I obviously love Black, but on yours I am thinking chrome. A lot less to do if you go with chrome I think. But if you are looking to do a bunch with the bike, Black that thing out. Looks like you like the black ones.

Apes - FTW!
