Nice, everyone with apes seems to say the same thing, that it changes the riding position for the better.
I have a set of 16's coming and hope to have them on by the end of the month, I can't wait.

Love the bars, they make the bike.&nbsp\\; Where did you get that saddlebag?&nbsp\\; That's what I need for my X-Bones.&nbsp\\; Does it fit a lot of stuff for overnighters?&nbsp\\; &nbsp\\;

Those bars look awesome.&nbsp\\; I can't wait for my 20 inch Smart Gimps from Nash I ordered almost a month ago.&nbsp\\; I like the corners and how it squares up the front end,&nbsp\\;but at 20 inches I need the stability in the bars and there was something about extra welds (in the corners) that didn't sit well with me.&nbsp\\; The bike looks great though keep up the good work.
