While some may love the apes, Not me. Part of our bikes draw is the stability of a lower center of gravity that the bike gives us, a little bit taller bars is one thing. But to have your hands and arms way up in the air can't be too comfy, plus it messes with the stability in the leans and tighter turns. Whomever wants them, cool!!!! But not me. Just my .02 worth.... lol. :)

I think you will like mine, they are just a little taller than stock. You will have to bring your hands inward some for a perpetually tighter grip which will improve your stability when you lean and take your turns a little tighter than what you are used to. Thus, enhancing your body position to an impervious ride.

They are bout what, an 1.5" taller than the stock bars? But, I was referring to the apes that have the arms straight up... ridiculously high apes. Bike looks great!!! The chrome version of the Baron pinstripe looks good on her, esp with more chrome. :)
