apes are a popular look, i don't think it is so much as a trend as more of a style that wont fade for along time.

Having apes on bikes has been around for a long time. It's like with a lot of things nowadays, people think they are new but actually I've seen many of the so called new trends before, they are just coming back for an encore performance.

sorry for trying to make conversation in a slow forum in the middle of winter when a lot of us are not riding.

i certainly agree! i like the look, i just don't think it fits every bike and every rider.

Check out the gangsta ape thread bruh! Many of us Been there done that. Lol some of us are on 2nd or 3rd sets of apes.

Maybe the people who are new to HDs or came from street bikes are jumping on them now and that's why you're noticing the high number of peeps talking about apes.
