'First Ride with Apes'....how do you keep them from flinging poop at the cages? Maybe that's their whole appeal.

I hear they're pretty good in the shop too...every dealership has at least one!

After a week or two you'll find the slow speed riding and turns are even easier with the apes.

Looks good man. I got my apes on the way, hope they get here before my ride to New Mexico in two weeks. I think it will make the ride a lot easier on the ol back.
