Default Hand guards on apes?
Just crossed my mind, I know there's a lot of club/thug style mx bars have them and they flow well with the look, but has anyone put them on some apes? Curious to see how they look..

thats what I was thinking, do you have pics? I do a lot of night riding and it gets pretty cold at times and I know these hand guards help with the wind. are they easy on/off?

Do you mean these from National Cycle?
I had them on my FLHP years ago, very nice at keeping hands warm but the looks suck. They bolt to the mirror stem, EZ on and off.

I agree it looks funky, but I was going more for function since I ride in the cold a lot thought it might help, and if it were easy on and off I can just take it off when it's warmer. Not in to the whole thug/club look I like my apes and that bobber look I understand with that style "less is more" that being said.... It's still up in the air lol
