Default need pics of mini apes please

Very much enjoying the new slim s and mother road custom spring seat. Shoulders aching a bit on longer rides. Anybody have pics of a slim with mini apes? I think a little more pull back will make all the difference in the world, but I'm not sure I'll like the look.

It's not a Slim, but a Fat Boy with a Slim fender on it and mini apes. Apes help a lot.

10 inch apes with 3 inch risers.
I found them far more comfortable than drag bars. If I had it to do again, I might go with 12 inch, with the 3 inch risers, but happy as it is.

7.5" RSD mini's, though being on a springer the top clamp makes them sit higher by couple inches, then there's two inch risers again
