I never cared for the Cafe racer look or drag bars. So I don't build em that way.
But I do respect the Brothers who choose to..

Define "tall apes".&nbsp\\; From my experience apes are actually more comfortable and easy to control being a taller rider.

Everyone has their own&nbsp\\;sense of style.
I try not to ridicule another person's idea of what's cool. It's their bike they can do what they want with it.
If you can't say something nice shut the up.
