It's a lepera silhouette. It's doesn't have much cushion but looks good. Just a step up in cushion from the barebones version. It's definitely just a short trip seat though. It feels a little better after it got broken in.

I am looking to put 12.5" to 14" ape hangers on my 06 Heritage Classic, andif anyone has pics of your Heritage with any of these bars, I would like to see them. I am 5'8" so I think 16" apes are out...
Thanks
Don't count them out yet! I am 5'6 with 16" apes. Though I have short legs, my torso is probably close to yours in length. I ride with my hands about 1/2" to 1" above shoulders.

Check out Chrome Lady, she has 14" wild one chubbies on her Deluxe.
Here's my 14" wild one chubby apes. I'm 5'8" and ride hubby's (CNC WHeel guys) deluxe with the 16".
I find them very comfortable, just a tiny bit more challenging in slow turns the first few times, but otherwise........SWEET!
Either way, apes rock! Go with what fits you best.

I have 12 1/2" Buffalo
I'm 6 foot with 33" sleave lenght and I like the pullback on these much better than those HD 10" mini Apes I had for a while.
Although Icould live with the 14s though. So I guess I'm not much help.


I can only lean them so far forward with my new windshield (HD Nostalgic)
After I took this picture I leaned them another 1 inch forward from this picture.

Texas, make that three bikes in our house...two deluxes and a street glide!
I've been a fan of your bike for some time....sweet looking!
I have a windshield and haven't tried it yet since we put the apes on. Usually if it's colder, I drive the street glide with the nice warm faring and crank the stereo so I don't realize the chilly air as much...
