Default X- Bones Apes vs Drag Bars

I ride with 16 in Chubby Apes and have been recently thinking about changing the bars out to a Biltwell or Nash Drag bar. I have yet to see a X-Bones with drag bars. I have an idea what it would look like but if anyone can help out with a picture.

I have also thought about going with drag bars on my bones, just because I like them...but, apes go much better with the look and feel of the bones. I am just adjusting to apes myself...looks too good to go back.

Thanks for the input. I love my Apes but you all know how you get that ich to change something on your bike. I just need to put my mind at ease and just leave them alone.
