Question Mini Apes on an '08 Deluxe????
After our long ride this weekend, my wife is thinking she may want me to put some mini apes on the Deluxe. Anyone else done this? How's it look and how comfy is the ride? Also, what bars would you recommend?

The mini Apes from Harley are 10" high. She should probably try and find some bikes like hers that have Apes with different heights and sit on them before deciding.

I have 12.5" Wild 1 Chubby's with 1/2" Risers and they are just right for me.

I have an 06 heritage, and just(last weekend) put on 12.5" chubbys and they are perfect.
I'm 6ft tall and they ride and feel great.
