Default apes on a fatboy

hello,everyone,i was hoping you guys with fatboys and running apehangers could post a pic on this thread.this is something i want to do on my 05,but the wife thinks it won't look right.also,with your post,please describe how comfortable they are to you while riding.she does'nt think there is any way possible for comfort,so maybe if she hears it from others she will be a little more receptive.thanks in advance!!!

Here is a pic of my fatboy with 16" apes. It is extremely comfortable. Will your wife be actually riding the bike, or a passenger?
