I'm anxious to see these as well. If possible, post pics of the required fairing mod too.

Does anyone here do any actual long distance riding on their touring bike with ape hangers? I LOVE the look, and I hear the comfort is good, but want to be sure, they are still comfortable after a 600 mile day. Also, any wind issues with the fists raised above the fairing? (I'm thinking the fairing will still deflect most of the wind over the hands but just checking).

i don't have any yet, but everyone i ride with does. and they do cross country runs with them and love it. it's a much more natural position for your arms, so there's less strain on your arms, back and neck. i'll be sure to let you know what i think of mine whenever the day comes that i get them, but from every single person that i know that has them, swears by them.

Default 14 inch Vindikta

These are 14 inch Vindikta Bars on my 2014 FLHXS. Joe (Owner of Vindikta) custom made mine to bend away from the rider slightly and took away the hooks at the top to give them a little more height (I'm 6'6'' tall). Like other posts, I really like the look of these bars because they have the 1.5 inch diameter. You do have to grid down the fairing a bit to make the bars fit though.
