Beach to Apes (Roadking)
After checking out the different ape setups my bro's were running I finally decided to change out my beach bars for a set of WO's 16" apes. Like everyone mentioned in the past postings the increased comfort level made it worthwhile. I thought I'd share finished look.
Cheers!

RE: Beach to Apes (Roadking)
txfxstrider,
I'm 6' tall. I needed to have them pushed away from me so I wouldn't feel to cramped up. This unfortunately meant no windshield. I tried positioning the bars with the windshield on but it was too cramped for me. You may want to consider that trade off. I'm spoiled riding with full windshields or fairings and riding 80-90mph spread eagle wears you out after awhile. If it becomes too much I may re-adjust the bars for a windshield, switch out to another seat that will set me back further. Well see.
Cheers!

Sweet. How tall are you? I've been thinking about going with 14"s but 16"s seem more popular.
