Default She's back (pics)

Well, today i got my ride back. only now it has wild 1 16" apes with the stainless lines to go along with em. i like em. the only issue i am having is that where the bars are most comfortable, they are too far forward to use the windshield. and i kinda like using the windshield. so, ill have to see which is more important i guess!!!!

i was just out riding, and it's not so bad without the windshield. i was also looking at adding some small brackets for the top mounts on the windshield to allow the windshield to lean forward enough to clear the bars. should honestly not be too much of a big deal, ill talk to my buddy that's real good with fabrication, see what we come up with.

I like the look on your RKC. I have thought about for mine but after so many years of getting beat up by the wind I would really miss my windshield. I take it off for local streets but always use it for freeway. Let us now how the windshield mod turns out and of course pics .

Beautiful bike! Let us know how you like the 16" Apes, after you have taken them for a long ride. I am trying to make up my mind which new bike to buy, and I really like the looks of the Apes though.

Nice! I'm getting to where I like apes on Rk's more and more. Seems like they would be more comfortable if they were tilted back toward the rider more. I've never had apes though, so I could be way off there. I've still got the stock bars and shield on my king, because I can't decide what I want to do. I like apes. Mini apes actually(12"-14"). I also like the shorter smoked shields. Problem is, I don't think they look good together, and I just can't take highway speeds without a shield for very long. Can't make-up my mind.
