Default Apes well baby ones
Ok, here it is.. I like the look of my scoot, however i feel my arms are to low and to far back for my comfort.. I'm condidering some apes but hold on, not gorilla size just some 12 inch RSD Vintage or like kind.. I think I would like the look either way... any suggestions I know there are some scoots with the 12" apes any pros or cons would be appreciated...

Lol, thanks Rocker. i'm very partial to the drag bars or like kind bars but its a confort thing for me at this time.. I might look at other drag type bars that wont have as much pullback... maybe some carlini's clean sweep, anyone want to trade?

this should give you an idea of what some shorter apes would look like...my opinion MICAHPOP's bars are the only apes i would run on a Rocker but that's just me...these are clean and simple
