Yah, I got the vivid black. I am so damn color blind I couldn't see the pink stripe.lol. Well everyone in my family says it's red.lol. Think they are just being nice. Okay paint is my next mod. PINK FLAMES!!jk
I was all over the Vivid Black but I couldn't get around that graphic color. Although in some light it looks perfect!

I like the mini apes that came with my Street Bob but they did take some getting use to. There are good & bad apes. Those tall apes have no attraction to me.

You got that right, the mini apeson the Street Bob look pretty good, they also look good on the Softail Custom.
I agree, the tall ones justhave no real attraction to me. Life is full of choices and that is what makes everyones Harley personal to them, but some take diffrent opinions way to personal... Go figure...

Take Care,
Bill G

Just a pair of quick questions here...Does the law regarding apes very from state to state? How do you guys get away with them or do youjust not worry about an occasional ticket?

I think the law in CA where I live is that they can't be above the shoulders. I'm sure it varies from state to state.
