I was on a benefit ride on Sunday and saw a lot of bikes but the one that stuck out to me was a Lo with apes on it. Maybe 14 or 16's. It just had a nice look to it. I'm 6'5" and as much as I would like to try apes I just can't make the switch. Love the look ( on some bikes) but not sure I would like the feel. But as the saying goes...."won't know until ya try" Beasley, that's a sweet looking Lo you have, could you ride it to Maryland so I could test those apes out?

I will agree lo's with apes are good looking. I think it has something to do with the low wide stance that run up to the tall bars.

Here is one for everybody. Does any one have pics or seen a lo in denim/vivid black with chrome apes on it?

Wow is this that radical of a idea that no one has seen chrome apes on a black lo?

i'll just throw something in here to give you a response.. the answer is no, i've never seen a Denim Lo with Chrome Apes. 90% of the Lo owners choose to go All-black on theirs, with only a few that put chrome on there.. so if you want to stand out, go for it, that's certainly a way to do it

Default Go with Apes

My 2 cents, I have had shoulder surgery on my right shoulder. I have to ride with apes, they put less stress on the shoulders then normal bars do. Have ridden 850mile straight from Colorado to California. And there would be no way I could have done it without the apes. And that was with the 12in mini apes on my nightster, can’t wait for summer to do it on my low.

My apes are straight and I got the same AJ...I'm not 6'7" though, only 6'1". I'm sure I could cruise 300 miles no problem.
