Same here....I don't have Apes though, I have beach bars and normally ride with no windshield and a solo seat. Looks totally badass

I'm in the process of stripping mine down and making it more for Go than for Show.

Here's mine without the windshield on. No apes, but lowered in rear.



Also just found this on eBay. Looks pretty damn good to me...

Just my 2 cents worth.
Love the look of the Duo Glides which is why I hacked up a perfectly good Super Glide Custom!

Anyway; just reviving this thread cuz I did end up buying a Road King.... really like it. Swapped out the sofa seat for a brawler solo and put the windshield in the shed forever.... My sig pic below doesn't show it but I added the Jackpot 4" dyno tuned mufflers, Hi flow AC and a Power Vision tune.... pretty close to what I was after - just gotta figure out what handlebars I want and I'll leave it alone I think.
