Default Apes and Bags

Finally finished my Khrome Works 16" Apes last night. Over the weekend I installed my "used" Boss Bags. I really like the look of "Ethel", even with the bags (although I doubt I will ride with the bags on all the time, they're new to me so I like them for the time being).

Along with the Mustang Wide Solo, this completes my mods for this year (unless someone posts with something I can't live without - which seems to happen almost every day - damn it).

I thought the bars would be great on the road, but might take some getting used to while maneuvering slowly in parking lots and such. I couldn't have been more wrong. While they are great on the road, they also allow so much more control at slow speeds. The bike seems to much lighter now.

Wish I had them on Memorial Weekend when we rode the Talimena Skyway in Arkansas. Now I have to find time to make some long runs over the next two months (I don't have to work - I'm a Teacher/Coach).

The Boss Bags are great. They fit close, even without my detachable sideplates.

I have included pictures of both Bags and Apes. Let me know your impressions, good or bad.

I've found that riding with apes makes it easier to maneuver through slow speed areas. It took me about 100 miles to get used to em.

Just relax. You'll love em in no time.
