Apes
So I was just wondering why 99% of the apes I see are all straight up instead of pulled towards you a lil bit? The reason I ask is because I have mine towards me and I find it comfortable but was asked why not stand them straight up like they're meant to be a few days ago and didn't have an answer as I have never even attempted it. So just curious

It's a matter of personal choice. Most would agree that a pushed forward angle has a more aggressive/custom look. But for many, this is a more comfortable reach.
I put on 16" apes a few hundred miles ago and am waiting a season before I give a review. I have gone through different opinions about the bars as I put on miles, finding the most comfortable position. For me, this is more forward, but I have a 35" sleeve length.
