What size apes are those on the bike? 12, 14, or 16" rise. Can I ask where they are from? They look really great on the bike.

Sean, I'm the guy who sent you a P.M. this summer. These are 18" apes from a place in CA with 1" risers. I can get you the info but as I said I'm 6' tall (and really good looking as you can see) and even my hands are about 1" above my shoulders. Let me know and I'll get you part #'s and contact info.

I just realized this was Kevin's bike, Paul. He was kind enough to give me the Triumph medallion (from the transmission cover) from this bike a number of years ago.
I am honored and proud to have it.

I met Kevin and Paul back when I lived in Lovely Worcester and saw some of their other work. And I saw THIS bike earlier this year!! AWESOME clean bike, and the bars fit him perfectly. Very nice indeed!! You should be very proud.

Done. I also posted a picture of my Fat Boy. I know we're a bit light on Harley fans here but this bike rocks. Not only is it cool,but in 10 years and 50,000mi. it's never let me down or leaked a single drop of anything. I love it in a romantic sense. Oops, there I go again.
