I'll be the first to say that it doesnt look as bad as i thought it would.... I dont like the ebay photo but the bike that started this thread isnt all that bad looking
I think you either like apes or you don't. I happen to love them on a bagger and with exception to black bars on the RG being too skinny , then I love it.
Never understood how or why people run apes. Especially the high ones. Don't see how they could even be comfortable. They look good on some bikes. But on a bagger, expecially with a fairing. UGH!!!!!
Apes on a bagger mess up the natural lines of the bike IMHO. Not my bike, so it's not my choice to make...I have a friend who bought a SG when they first came out, had mini-apes on it pretty quick, wasn't the best look for me, but worked for him.
