The original bars look tons better on that bike. Those apes seem to high. Nice looking bike though!!

Thanks, but I hated the original bars. Beach bars was actually my first mod since I didn't like the look or the feel of the original bars...

IMO the beach bars look better than apes, but I like (so far) the apes as far as comfort. Will give it a month or two before I can really make a choice....

Thanks again for all the compliments guys!

I'm in love with your bike! I'd run it either way, prefer apes for comfort, but the beachies is a timelessly cool look.

I vote APES.....I'm only 5' 8" but my 16" apes are even with my shoulders. They're not Wild Ones....I guess that's why. They work for me...

Thanks man, really happy I chose this color combo.

Still a little torn on the looks since I like the low, clean look but the apes are definitely growing on me

I'm an apes sorta guy...those look good, and as long as you like 'em that's what matters.

But...I must say, that's one beautiful Road King.
