true dat
Nice apes hoyt, but like everyone says they're pushed way forward you must be a real big guy, also pushing them that far makes them look like a 10 or 12 inch, but as long as they are comfortable is what counts, welcome to the planet of the apes

I'm more of a touring type so the wind blast from the human sail position doesn't work for me. In other words, I wouldn't ride that on the high, windy plains, but something tells you aren't going to either.

But it looks good, and if it works for you, all the more power to you.
