Ok, so taking a look...should I?

I have had apes on previous bikes...loved them. Forgot I had this set in the building and it looks like almost everything will work with no changing anything other than the brake line....I think it will come up short.

So....should I? I like my ride, but apes are awesome for comfort.....the bars are in cheesecloth and zip-tied to the bars now mounted just to see what it might look like.

I agree with Gartec...those bars are too wide for the narrowglide front end.

I vote NO...

If that's what you like.... Go for it! You have only to please YOU. The fashion police don't matter. you're the one riding it.

personally I HATE the look of apes on ANY bike myself. It just looks so stupid to me. Like the owner is just screaming, "HEY EVERYBODY LOOK AT ME!!!!!!" That's just my opinion though and I say if you like em, throw em on!! I do admit they look way better than the ones that stick up higher than those!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
