I like the king pin apes. I'm not a huge fan of the normal style of apes and enjoy seeing different shapes and bends. I think it makes your bike more unique...Just my .02

I agree, the kingpin bars would look pretty good. Your bike is already beyond stock with the paint, etc., otherwise the bars would look out of place.
Check out the Nash bars for some different looks also...Nash Motorcycles, bars are known as Gimps

Stick with what you've got. Your bike looks awesome, and in my opinion those other bars look terible. If you REALLY wanted something different, go with the Gimps instead, however I'd leave your bike alone andblow the 200 at the bar.
