Just like it says plan on getting 16" apes on my deluxe, will I be able to put a detachable windshield on it?

They will work but if the bars are rolled forward you will have to trim the winshield. Easy fix. Here is a pic of mine with the windshield on. My bars are rolled forward quite a bit.

I've got 14's on mine pushed up as far as they'll go w/ the windshield tilted forward. They sit plenty forward for me.

Absolutely, AirBoyzT...


H/D's detachable windshield, on a set of 16" Carlini 'Flying Apes'.

So many options to choose from, Carinis and Wild ones are my favorites. I'm close to 6 foot, do you think 16" will be comfortable for me with a 1.5" or 1.75" riser, or should I go up to 18". Still can't decide between the Carinis flying apes or the Wild Ones Chubbys or the Burlys....help me decide hahaha
