Default what apes you runnin

what apes you runnin and what do you like/not like about them. Its a completely personal thing and I love the look of the powder coated 16" ones but not sure if it would ride the same. I am on a 2014 SGS and looking for a project.
I like the look of the razor back ones on ebay but whatever brand you like I am in. take care, paul

16" ~ 1.5" thick carlini gangster apes! I like the 1.5" really makes them stand out.

Wo577's here on a 14' SG. 12.5's but measure out a little taller. Love how they took away the shoulder and back pain, also how they completely changed the look of the bike. Not to mention you can do the install yourself and save a ton of money without changing cables and lines

WO577's. Perfect for me. The larger diameter looks better and makes the internal wiring a breeze. Not to mention no more shoulder pain after the first tank of fuel.
