When my shoulders start to ache I sure wish there was such a thing as electric handle bars/cables that could adjust up or down on the fly because those apes look like just the ticket when I need to stretch.

I thought a dresser was what you put clothes in. You must be talking about a bagger?

The great thing is you don't have to put them on your bike.

I like them wide and just over the faring, but some of the taller ones are growing on me.

It's their bike, and their money. If it makes them happy, then so be it. I'm not going to judge.

I won't say that they look stupid.

I will say that they only look good on RK's though.

I think that they are specifically reserved for RK's.

I have to agree it does look odd having apes on a dresser. For me I had to have it...it was function over looks.

Using the stock handlebars and the tallboy seat the handlebars would hit my leg during turns. The only way to get around that was to install taller handlebars or stick my leg out. I got tired of the latter and my hand falling asleep so I replaced them.
