Apes are the most comfortable for me, and no, I'm not really tall. I'm only 5'11". Besides, they look BADASS!!!

I think he started the post to get a raise out of everyone and is secretly installing apes now and getting ready to post some pics. I mean really, how could someone be dumb enough to start a thread like this?

I could give a rats azz who thinks it looks dumb. For me putting my 12.5 apes on my RK saved me a lot of shoulder pain. I am 6ft and they work for me....actually I think I could have gone with 14's but my 12's work very well for my situation...and they look great!

Looks aside, how do they impact your low speed handling? Say 5-10 mph in a gravel parking lot doing a full lock U-turn - better or worse?

I think apes are really ugly too. I only have them on my Road King because my arms are really long, hanging below my knees when standing.
