Thanks, right now I have mid mounts and, don't get me wrong, I like them but my legs start to hurt after riding for an hour or so from being cooped up. And once I get apes, I think the forwards will give me a more comfortable ride.

I will try out both setups though to see which I like best, thanks again!

Congrats on the bike bro. I have been riding for a couple of years and switching over to a Nightster now too. Bad *** looking bikes man. I'm 17, so it's nice to see other young guys into HDs instead of rockets. My friend was trying to tell me the other day how the crotch rocket guys get hotter girls and what not... It was an intense facepalm moment. Everybody knows a guy can roll up on an HD and take the preppy football players girl right on the back of his Ninja ;] I live just a few hours from you man. Hit me up sometime this summer if you want to go riding.

Osco has the right ideal. Keep the mids and add highway pegs.

Where exactly do you live?

I agree, crotch rockets are a boys bike while a Harley is a man's bike hah only kidding. All jokes aside, i'd much rather be seen on a Harley than a crotch rocket though
