Apes on my Dyna
Hey guys. I'm considering putting some 17" todds apes on my dyna super glyde custom. I love the look but i'm afraid they will be uncomfortable and my arms might fall asleep. I'm not a very big guy (5'7") so it might be a stretch. My bike has stock 12" mini's now. Any body have these bars? or maybe have an alternative, i love the look and am gonna get something similar. I'll post a pic of my bars and a pic of the bars i want to get. Please post pics of other bars also. Thx guys

Another option is check your local dealer and see if they have a "fit shop" where you can try other bars.

OP, I see you are running forward controls. This can make a world of difference when it comes to apes and comfort. IMO forward controls make it a little more difficult to reach the bars, causing you to "hunch" your back a little bit. Mid controls give you a more upright position. I'm 5'10 with 12" apes on mine and I have to bend my back a bit to reach the bars. Something to think about...

Apes are so 2003. T bars are where it's at! Haven't you seen the entire site?
All kidding aside I really like the look of a bobbed out dyna but I'm of the opinion less is more when it comes to apes..... 10" are perfect IMHO, and less than 32" width. Z bars look great. Anything more than 14" and you'll regret it. Just speaking from my personal experience.
I had 16" apes on my softail, loved the look and feel.....until I tried to ride longer than 20 mins on the highway.....you literally become a human parachute.
