RE: Post your pics of Apes on a Softail Deluxe / Fatboy / Heritage!
I went with the Harley-Davidson MiniApes 10 1/2"
I would have prefered some a little higher maybe the 12 1/2"ers
so I could pull them back yet still be about tittie high on me, I'm 6'.
This one has the angle level with the front forks and they don't seem high enough that way.
This one has them about theheight that I want, but are leaning to far foward for me.
I figure the 12 1/2" would let me have the right angle and right height.
Some day I may change the riser out to help out,
but right now I can't find any because the '07 has the 1 1/4" risers.
So right now I have them somewhere in the middle, but Ihaven't taken that picture yet.

I went thru most of the pics on each model above, but was hoping to organize bikes here with Apes. I'd like to put Apes on my wife's (Chrome Lady) Deluxe for comfort, but she is hesitant on the looks.
Now, I know what you are thinking, "it doesn't matter what I think, it's her bike and SHE needs to feel comfortable". I know this is true,But I want her to TRY it out this way, if she doesn't like it, We'll go back to stock. She is not one to "try" things. From what I'm reading, most everyone who went to apessay that it is more comfortable.
I'm thinking of 16" w/ 1 inch risers, or 12" w/ her stock 4" risers. Will she be able to turn at low speed as easy with these apes?
Anyway, back to my original request, could you post some pics of these bikes with Apes?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

) I got on it, and we pulled them back just a tad. I love 'em. I am 5' 7" and have very long arms, but they are perfect for me. Tell the wifey she needs to go for it.

Faction,
Tha 07 with the 16" Wild Ones looks really good. Did you do the install or have someone else wrench it? As much as I would like to save the money and do it myself, I do not have the time or true skills todo it right and keep from having an overall bad time. Guys how much am I going to have to pay the dealer to do this on my 07 Fat Boy?
