Off with the Apes!
And on with the Knuckles!!!
Swapped my Wild 1 Baby Apes for a set of Wild 1 Knuckle Bars. Much more comfortable for me and it feels like I took 100lbs off the bike.

To me it's the comfort zone and not about the looks, of course it's a plus when you get both. Nice looking springer, put some smoked lenses on those turn signals and I'd like it better.

When I took my apes off and went to drag bars it felt like a added 100lbs to the bike. And I felt the bike was harder to handle. I guess it's all in what you are used too.
Your bike looks much better with the knuckle bars.

Yeah looks good.. I just recently traded in my '10 sprty 48 for the new softail slim. On the 48 I had 16" apes on and absolutely loved it - but now I am torn on installing apes on the softail or just leaving the stock bars.. Any thoughts?
With the apes on the sporty I was getting blown all over the road curious if that would be the same on the softail.
Thanks
Come
