Default apes and windshield pics
Anyone have any pics of a deluxe with apes and a windshield? I know typically the two don't go hand in hand, just curious what it would look like.

Someone posted a picture awhile back where he had cutouts on his windshield to run his apes forward where a stock windshield would haven't allowed the angle he wanted.

It's not a problem on the Deluxe. We just put a set of 13"s on top of the pull back risers on a Deluxe (which is a little taller than 16's on short risers) and there's plenty of clearance for the windshield. If you run 16's on short risers they'll still fit, even if the bars are a little forward of straight up.

I throw a windshield on my Deluxe that has apes when the weather gets bad or the wife wants to tag along. I can send you pics if you'd like.

Another note, I put spacers between the windshield and the brackets, 1/2" I believe. This allows me to keep the bars forward enough that I am comfortable with the windshield on.

14" Wild1 Chubbys on my Heritage. 2nd pic is no windshield, but the bars are in the same position, thats as far as I could go without interfering with the windshield.

I have my bars pushed pretty far forward and am certain I would have to roll them back a bit for a windshield, but I never run a windshield regardless. I don;t even own one. However, if I lived where it got really cold I just might.
