[QUOTE=DM426;12000665]Thanks for the replies about the apes. Here are some photos of the one I saw at a dealer, and it's the one I'm using to get ideas from. As you can see it has the Sundowner as well as the mini-apes from Harley, and you'll also notice they changed the risers, which helps keep the bars in line with the bars in line with the forks

Hello
Are you sure it's the fat mini-ape Harley 12"?
This one look taller
Thank's

Nimbleness (lack thereof): Change to:
Pirelli Diablo 240/40ZR-18 79V part no. 1682600 tire on rear, and
Avon Front Cobra AV71 120/70V-21 Blackwall Tire - 90000000746 OR
Avon Front AM41 Venom X 120/70H-21 68H Blackwall Tire - 90000000753
It will feel like the bike lost a set of concrete overshoes
Stock pillion seat is useless: So is the stock front seat. Get a decent Corbin or other replacement. Also, if you have just a little stress reaching the handlebar, a company like Corbin can move your sitting position forward an inch for no extra charge
Takes effort to lean: Again,this is the fault of the stock tires. Go with the Pirelli and Avon combo and say goodbye to resistance to leaning.

Pitbull makes a really good, and SAFE to use, jack.

I'm assuming the change to the 120/70 will have a similar effect even though my front wheel is 19" not 21"?

It's NOT JUST the size. It's the fact that the Pirelli is a lighter weight tire than most others, and has a profile shape more appropriate to leaning easier.
