Always dug the look of apes on a bagger. I thought about putting them on my road king, but I'm thinking about another bike to buy, and saving for that.
After some riding time, let us know how you like them.
Gives your bike a more sinister look.

I think this is fanfu@#ingtastic! Apes on Road Kings is like red on apples. It's just right!
No problem contradicting me....

We all like different things, me, I hate the look of ape hangar bars, especially when they are behind a windshield or fairing.

But that`s why they make more than one flavor of ice cream...

Agreed!

The batwing or shark-nose with the handlebar OVER the fairing is not a great look.

Now you need true duals with choloes. It'll be different because it's not black

Don't think fish tails will grow on me, not a fan but it is very common on lowered bikes with apes.

This is why I mentioned on the first post some will like what I'm doing, some won't, opinions was expected good or not so good. Beach bars are a safe choice liked by most, apes are a defined line and not many on the fence

I for one am looking forward to whatever you do to the White Bike. I've just about gotten over having missed it's OEM motor (75% saved for the V111).
BTW, Thanks to THC for his childhood pic.

No, wasn't directing anything at you, just the big picture from the beginning and open to opinions, your suggestion is real popular in the ape world my apology for not being clearer.
