Im curious why the 1.5 inch isnt on the poll. Go big or go home! I put 14 inch 1.5 dia flyin apes on my Road Glide and I love em. To me everyone has gangsters and I think the Flyin apes fit the RG bill a little better.

You've got to go with what looks best to you. No matter what you choose, somebody is going to tell you that you screwed up. Doing a drastic change like going to apes is something people either love or hate. For me, I can't see ever going back, and I've been riding for well over 35 years.

If I ever turn my RK into a "bar hopper" or city bike or if I ever get a second bike "Fatboy Lo" I'm going with Gangsters
