Count me in. Finished the install last night and went for a ride. Man why didn't I do this sooner. (Cycle smith 16's). When do I get my prospect patch.

I want to join if 12's qualify, I know that I would never get to sit at the table during church with only 12's but I would like to hang around.

Apes with 21" front

Ordered a set of pre-wired Z bars from Hill and Country Custom Cycles last week, they should be here in a week or two. Also ordered RC Drifter 21"/18" set of wheels...maybe this stuff will get me to wash my bike more often.

I'll post some pics once installed...right now its a stock looking ultra with some willie g chrome on it. Any advice on the 16" apes with a 21" wheel?

I'll post some pics once installed.

2008 Ultra
90k miles...yep I ride mine.

I finally got mine on (13" Burly's)this past week. I'm loving it, but I had to change my tank dash due to the bars hitting it.

My bike should be done today. I originally wanted the santee 11" but was told they were on back order until mid june. So instead I went with 13" bars. Still not true apes but they look good.

True apes start at 14" IMHO.

Years back (early and mid 90s) I installed apes on 2 different bikes myself, neither bike was a bagger though. I wasn't tackling these though. Too much stuff in the way.

Well it is official. Seems they sent 14s instead of the 13s.

My mechanic asked if I still wanted them.......Of course, what's another inch.

Going to get a little getting used to the extra width.

07 electra glide with 16 apes and 21 front wheel.. love the look and the ride .. just keep in mind .. you put a 21 up front , it will raise the front end 1.25 inchs or there about. the wheel is 2 1/2 inchs taller then a 16..also have to remove the front bumper if it has one and adjust fender so it dont rub.. i went 18 rear and 21 front and lowered rear 1 inch and front 2 . love it now
