Never rode a bagger with apes. How is handling at slow speeds?
And how long did it take putting those on, looks nice.

I have 12" Yaffee bagger apes and the bike is way more comfortable and for me handles a lot easier in slow speed maneuvers....It was worth the effort and money...I did it all myself but I didn't do internal wiring....love them...I would do it again.
Here's a picture from the front

Slow speed is a little different, not banging my knees anymore, but all is good!

Way more control for me when going slow. Can go very slow without weaving back and forth before having to put my feet down...
