Default Screaming for apes???
I was looking for a sissy bar upright to use as a mounting point for a t bag for longer trips, and maybe giving a more secure ride for the wife on the rare occasions she rides with me. I found a great bargain on a new twisted version on the 'bay and I really like the new dimension it adds to the look of my bike........but now it looks like it would really look a lot better with apes. I hate to think of adding the cost of all new SS cables and bars but it seems to be screaming at me.

Your thoughts?

For a style thing,(chopperesque looking) yeah apes would look good if your into that look. From a practicality standpoint, I would go with a quick detachable sissy bar set up for your wife that is if you like your drag bar set up.
While that sissy bar does look cool, it don't look at all comfy.
My wife wouldn't go for it.
