Yesterday I did 220+ miles on my 12.5 apes. I have no shoulder or back pain and the bike handles well. This is my best mod so far.

 

sweetness. Love the mods to your ride .... they do look awesome. Glad you had a nice ride testin out the new bars. I think if I ran apes .. .my arms would fall off from lack of blood to 'em...... but that is me.

 

Your ride looks awesome!

I loved My apes on My old Wide Glide.It felt like I had better control of the bike and it was actually more comfortable with the Apes.I wish they didn't look like they don't belong an a E-Glide cause I'd install them on My bike.

 

Sweet...Nice looking Ride. Love the apes.

 

Looks good!! I have 16" apes and have never experienced my hands or shoulders "falling asleep". I'm 6'4" and my 16's put my hands right out in front of me. I've seen guys with 18's and 20's whose hands are way above their heads and this is where the tales of hands "falling asleep" come from I'm sure. I agree with you, my apes are the best mod I have done.

 

Iceman,

My apes are 12.5 and my hands are slightly below my shoulder and nothing feel asleep. Find a bike with apes and sit on it and you will see what I mean. 16's were even comfortable to me but I didn't want to go too high on the "King"

 

Very Nice! when it comes to Apes either you love em or hate em. I Love them, I had 16's on my heritage and loved them. you can see photo in my gallery

 

Iwas used to drag bars,before I bought my king. Now I am thinking about apes. I'm 6'1 and I don't know if I should go with 10's or 12's. I don't want to go to drastic, and everyone keeps telling me to go with 12's. But once I do it its done.

 

Stoli,

I am about 6'1 maybe 6'2. I would recommend anything from 12 - 16. I don't think 10's would be high enough to experience maxium comfort. But the 10's will go farther than your butt can last. Even if you have an iron butt.

 

I put on 18" apes, and have no trouble with blood flow. I am 61" and they sit right at, or just below my shoulders. Depending on howI sit. I do have one issue, but will post a new thread. Those with apes, let me hear ya.
