you hear all kinds of stuff...numb hands , loss of control ,uncomfortable. almost always by people that have never rode with them.
there is no loss of control, actually things get a bit more sensitive. you will pick up more wind with apes though, about the only down side I know of.

Finally got my 14" Carlini Flying Apes (they measure out to be 17" from bottom of bar at riser to top of bars so if you go with Carlini keep this in mind ) and got them on the bike not a Street Bob but a Dyna anyway. I don't have my cables yet but did get the wiring ran through the bars and did not have to add any length to them.

The biggest difference is that it looks bada$$ed. IMO.
