If you go to google images and type in something like "street glide with apes" a lot of pics come up. That will probably give you an idea.

I hope to ride a bike with decent sized apes some day just to see what the buzz is about. Up until that time.... it dosn't seem to make sense in any aspect. Decreased control, hands above the fairing (cold), impaired blood flow, etc.

Who knows, upon trying same I may love it but it seems all about style with huge negatives to safety and comfort factors.

Set me straight guys.... what have I missed.

But to each his own.
