Here's mine. I throw my luggage behind me and pull my bars back for long trips. Couldn't be more comfortable.

Sig pic I like my apes. They are more comfortable than the stock bars IMO.

Most chubby apes look like *** IMO. The bends are never the right shape. 1" is the only way to fly. They didn't have "chubbies" back in the day.

I agree with John (Faction) on the comfort. My back hurt with my stock 07 Fat Boy bars, and with the 16 inch apes, no problems at all. It takes about two rides to get used to them, including adjusting the angle for comfort, but after that it is all good. By all good I mean comfort, handling and looks (and parking lot turns are even good).

Brent.
