How's the handling with them? Got some mini apes and it took some time to get used to how the bike responded to them - especially in tight places.

They look good...

finally found some people with apes on a road king! i just purchased my 02 FLHR and threw some heritage bars on it, but i've been longing to get apes. i was going along the lines of a 13" rise with 36" tip to tip and a 10" pullback... i'm only 5'4" so any taller and i'd be uncomfortable. my question is, how long do i need to extend my cables? seeing as how my bars now are 8.5" rise but only 31" tip to tip with a 6 1/4" pullback, the stock cable work and i think i can even swing 10" minis... but any taller and i'm gonna need to extend. suggestions on how much extra i'm gonna need? 4"? 6"? thanks ya'll

I'm not a fan of apes ... but it's a free country ... so to each his own. The only thing that REALLY matters anyway is whether or not YOU like them.

Sorry... don't like them.
Makes a Harley look like the Schwinn I had when I was 6.
Sorry.. too each is own.
Apes are for Choppers... not touring bikes.

Just me 2 cents.
