I'm 5-6 and may consider modest apes at some point. Although...I do like the stock bars on my FB Lo...they put me in a sporting posture that I like to attack the curves.
I would be concerned of the apes and their effect on handling and the ability to "push" and lay the bike over when turning or when in the curves.
I think the stock bars make the bike a riders motorcycle. And the apes make it a cruiser/bar hopper.
One riding bud already told me I ride this Fat Boy like it's a VRod. LoL.
Thoughts?

any handlebars that puts your hands/clutch and rear brake levers above ones shoulders makes long cruises very uncomfortable,
you'll notice ape riders will ride one handed often due to numbness., I could be wrong??
