Default First ride with new Apes!!

Just finished my 16" apehanger installation on my 06 standard. I took it out for a test ride today to make sure everything worked properly. And found myself not wanting to get off the highway. I absolutely love the 16's..the way they look,and are very comfortable to me. You couldn't of slapped the smile off my face going down the road. Well i Was just so happy about them I had to post.

Lucospock,

If the rest of the world really knew how good the Mac is, there would be more of us (and far fewer of those other people)!

I've had my apes for 2 years. There 16" with 2"uprisers. I wouldn't change them for anything in the world. Most comfortable arm position I've ever had
