If you're gonna "Ape" a bagger it should be a Road King.

A Buddy has a King with a Dragonfly batwing and apes to his shoulders, I thought it was a little off at first but it's grown on me.

Personally not a big fan of apes on baggers but it can be done. There are several companies that make 'em. Got my Dyna apes from Hill Country Customs in Texas. Great price and pretty good quality. I believe they make apes for baggers. Yaffe makes some that are a ton of $$$ and a PITA to wire. If you have a TBW and want to run internal wiring with apes do yourself a big favor and get the SE TBW extender kit.

I like the looks of ANY bagger with Apes. I just saw a street glide with apes and it looked killer imo. I put 16" on my RKC and wouldn't ever go with anything else simply for the comfort of the apes.
