Default ELectra Glide request
Can someone show me a pic of a new Electra Glide with ape hangers?

The guy at the dealership said it would look retarded.

But it's not going to be his bike, now is it?

At the dealership the other day there were three of four used flhtks with various sized apes. They looked good and comfy.

Find another dealership because the salesman doesn`t like the looks of a set of handlebars?

Trying to my picture on here. I 6 ft tall and put 13in cyclesmiths on my 06 eglide. Best thing I ever did for comfort. You can get on cyclesmiths website and used to be able to look at bikes with the bars on them.
