Default Carlini Evil Apes video

I haven't seen too much on the Evil Apes, but the Gangsters get a lot of praise around here. Someone was asking for pics of the Evil Apes so I thought a video may be appreciated.

Here is the sweet video of them in action, not sure if this is a Softail or not though. And as a bonus check out the ignition switch.

I'm kind of torn between these Evil Apes and the Nash Gimps.
Here are the Pudgy Gimps from Nash:

I can't wait until I get my Softail next year!
You may recall I was all set on a Night Train or Xbones, kind of leaning towards a FB Lo or FB Slim at the moment (it helps that they are still being produced).

Definitely an awesome song and vid, glad you guys enjoyed it.

That really clean bar setup is awesome, I dig where he relocated the ignition, too.
That dished tank was neat as well.

Midgard, what do you think? Evil Apes more fit with the Fatboy style where the Gimps more fit the leaner style bike?
