Also i wopuld like to know if I can still keep my handle bar lock cover or do I need to purchase another type of cover

yes, you can resuse your stock handle bar cover. as for which apes to buy, I bought the ones you see in my sig picture from chopperscycle.com. Great people to deal with. The bars are 16", 1 1/4 inch diameter, pre-wired (internally) and include all the chrome controls (brake and clutch). I paid $450 for all that last year. You will need to buy the cables separately but lots of info here on how to measure and where to buy from. I did the work myself and the total bill came to about $600. Someone posted a itemized list to replace bars that amounted to $1250 - that's ridiculous. you can do it for a lot less, even if you have someone else do it.

BTW- FRIGGIN LOVE MY APES. Tell the dipshts to take a hike. APES RULE BABY!

My buddy swore by his beach bars and don't get me wrong his bike looks good. I let him take my bike around the corner and the rest is history.....

I love them!!! Only thing that gets tiring is answering how tall they are and if they are really comfortable or not.......but then again, that just means they're getting some attention!!

I just put some 14's on my 05 RK custom and they're wicked cool and much more comfortable.

I have some 12" PYO Monkeys on order, but after reading this thread I'm wondering if I need to go higher. 16" still looks too tall for me, but maybe 14"

I had 16's on my Heritage and am now putting them on my RoadKing. More than just looking cool I find that they make for a better ride. And more than just making for a better ride they look pretty effin cool.
