Default Best bike for ape hangers?
What do you guys think the best looking bike with ape hangers is? I cant decide on wether to get a heritage or a roadking classic.

Do you like soft luggage, or hard? Visually, that's the only difference to me. I know the RK is a "tourer" and the Heritage is "only" a softtail, but still.....
