Default I went ape

Hopefully the pic showed up, it wouldnt upload. I just replaced beachbars with these 15" apehangers from J&P cycle plus 3 inch risers on my deluxe. I love them, more comfortable, look way cooler and handle better than I thought they would.

I'M THINKING ABOUT PUTTING 15" APES ON MY HERITAGE. HOW HIGH ABOVE YOUR SHOULDERS ARE YOUR HANDS? I ALREADY HAVE THE RISERS AND I HAVE 8" BABY APES NOW. DO YOUR HANDS FALL ASLEEP NOW? I WISH YOU HAD THOSE PICS.

The big test will be this weekend when I ride 3 1/2 hours to Leesburg bike fest and I'll find out if my hands go numb. The windshield will go back on for that even though the wind resistance was less than I thought it would be. They come up to about my collarbone. Try pasting the below address and hit go and you should see pic

I figured it out I think. my cell phone camera was set on 640x480 pixels and when I tried to load them the pop up said over 500 not supported. all the pictures i've checked on here are smaller sized so I just adjusted my phone and will take more pics
