Those apes would look great on my RK but something just not doing it for me personally with the fairing. Just me.

A little on the tall side for a ride with a fairing to me but they look pretty good all and all.

I love apes. Love em. Just not on fairing bikes.

I wanted a sg, wanted a radio, like the odea of a fairing, but i wanted apes more. And i just dont think they look right above the fairing. I normall support 18" apes on any harley, but not full fairing bikes.

Just my opinion, but hey, in the words of may man in boogie nights :

" wear what you dig"

I really have no idea when it comes to the measures... i just gave the whole kit to the dealer and they had everything done... didnt get the cost yet either... but our initial agreement was 5 hours...

If you really are intrested in the measures go to baggernation.com and ask them as they supplied me with the whole thing they are very helpful ... i had to pay a little more to have them do an 18" as they only had 13s and 16s available in stock and the wires, brake hose and the clutch cable came in a box.
