How you all doing. My name is Mike, I just bought my 1st "Harley" this fall. I have had several sport bikes when I was younger, but liked riding my Uncles Harleys, so I bought an '04 Dyna Lowrider this fall. I love the bike, love being able to ride again and I'm excited to be apart of these forums. Currently I am looking at doing some more customizing to the bike. I want to put some mid level apes on i, because I hate the stock bars. Thinking 10"-14", thick bars. Anyone have any suggestions or pics of your lowrider with apes? I will leave it there for now, but will have a few other questions later. Thanks ahead of time.

Welcome! I am considering doing 1 1/4 14" apes myself. Feel free to ask whatever you want. Use the search function as well. There is a lot of good information here.

welcome to the Hundred Dollar, motorcycle club. This is a great forum for info and answers...

As well as apes, you may want to look at risers and drag style bars or lower risers with your bar. Check out the galleries for more pics of different style bars than you can imagine...dd50/tomp

Welcome to the forum. Use Google and put HD forum in your search topic. It works better than the search on here, but it will give you hits for on here. Good luck and post some pics.
