Default Apes for baggers

Anyone out there mount apes on their ultras? I'm 6'6" and am itching to find some bars to stretch my wings out. I've heard from some bros that there is a company that makes ape hangers for baggers - never seen 'em but am itching to find em.

UGLY, as d175 said, is subject to ones opinion. I say, get what makes your riding more enjoyable.

I agree, they look good on a RK but I don't like them on the tourers with fairings. But it is a matter of personal taste so if you like them, go for it.

I couldn't agree more. Since I got my apes I have now decided against the Hoppe fairing. However,if you bars are lower than the fairing it still looks good. Check out GMoney220 bike.
