Default Ape suggestions for SG

So I'm about to do a bunch of work to my bike but can't decide on apes. I like the yaffe' but they at on an extensive back order. I'm looking for apes around 10" that sit at about the top of the fairing while also providing some pullback. Any suggestions?

Lol! I might be in the minority here, but apes on a bagger just don't seem right IMO. I guess if that's what's comfortable for you go for it, it's about what you like. As for apes on a batwing, check the touring forum and try the advanced search, you should be able to find hundreds of threads about the different options.

Call Hill Country Customs, get your self their prewired 12" Yaffee's and tell everyone else to kiss it. No BO when I ordered and fit/finish is perfect. Some people are so full of sheet it's crazy.

You shoulda posted in the touring section, people are installing apes weekly.
I want mine no higher than the bat wing, so I am liking KST 10 3/4".

Not mine:

Very well done, this looks better and would be so much more comfortable.
