Default Bagger/Fairing Apes on Road King 16"

Currently got 16" Chubbys on my road king which i have a dragonfly detatchable fairing for. this winter i will be pulling my bars off and internally wiring radio controls. since i will tearing it all apart its got me thinking on diffrent bars. i love the feel of my bars but been thinking about going with bagger apes that will follow the contour of the fairing and those yaffe monkey apes are starting to grow on me a bit. i ride 50/50 with and without my fairing. just wanderin who else has 16 bagger apes and have pictures and if anyone has 16 yaffes or cyclesmiths. i dont think the bike will look bad with out the fairing off with the contoured bagger apes. think it may actually look kinda cool.

I can't help you but I wanted to say your bike looks really damn good. Don't forget to look at those Carlini's. I am partial to the older style but you might dig the evils. Price is the only bad thing. Mine are WO's also but I gotta get some wheels.......dang that looks good.

I don't think the bend would look too bad, but I do think the width may look a little funny... I think your WO 16's are about 9" wide at the clamp, where the bagger bars (at least the Wild 1's) are 14" wide... Something to consider anyways...

thanks for that i never thought about the width at the base. thinkin maybe some carlini gangsta apes may work and look nice. the curve would match the contour of the fairing pretty good too i would think

Go to Yaffe's site, and you'll see a couple of Road Kings with the OEM Monkey bars and a Dragonfly fairing. I was considering monkey bars for my bike a couple of months ago, and I emailed Paul asking him whether or not I needed the bagger bars or the OEM bars, and he said the OEM bars.




I just bought a set of Todds chubby Stripper bars, and am going to be putting them on my bike sometime in the next few weeks. I don't want to have to roll my fairing forward even a little, so I hope they're going to work.

Here's another bike from the baggernation site with the bagger monkey bars and a Dragonfly fairing. I don't think the bagger bars look as good as the OEM bars with the Dragonfly.
