I like the look of the bobtail but not with a sissy bar which is what I have so that's not an option for me. It makes it look a lot sportier though. I'm still debating on whether or not I'm going to get apes for mine. I want them; my wife doesn't. Choices, choices...

Ricky, have you ever ridden a bike with apes? They can take a bit of getting used to. And something to keep in mind is if you get a set that places your hands higher than your heart, you probably won't like longer rides. The ol' circulation suffers and the hands start tingling and just getting generally uncomfortable.

They do look cool, though! <BG>
