I gave myself a fresh fishtail scar on Friday. They definitely will take out any ankles in a 20 foot radius!

great looking bike. i know what you mean about the bars. i'm doing a classic look on my 2006 flhri. but ive got 14 inch apes as well. they just feel right.

I don't have a pic that will load, but here's a video of my bike (you probably have to cut and paste to your address bar). I tried to keep a classic old school look.

Thanks for the new link, Hot. Interesting, he uses velcro to anchor them...wonder how well they hold up. Everybody here thinks you ought to buy a set and let us know how they work.

I don't see any room for improvement on my '04 Road King Classic. It just "has the look".
