I guess for me looking at an ultra with apes is really no different than a streetglide. For my personal thoughts I would go no higher than a 10" bar, but a lot of this is more helpful to the back rather than the good looks apes provide

I think you made a couple spelling errors, here i fixed them for you.

"Apes on your touring bike? That makes sense, because its your bike. So you should do what you like with it, whether its for comfort or looks (or both)"

Walt stopped by the house a couple of weeks ago and we slapped some jam on his FLHTK. I have to say, I'm not a fan of apes but I really liked his. Perfect height, and they look sharp. Not sure what model he wound up with (he told me can't remember) but he's got me thinking about putting them on now...

To each his own of course, but if you're tall they are a lifesaver on the long haul.
