Anyone running 12 or 12 1/2" apes?
I found a set of fatty 12 or 12 1/2" chrome ape hangers for 50.00 and am thinking about putting them on my heritage.Any input.Pictures would be GREAT.I have never had apes and have heard that tall apes make your arms go to sleep on long rides and dont handle good??I love the way they look as long as they are not supper tall.

I have 12's. No more issues with my hands going to sleep then with buckhorns. Sometimes I hang on too tight and have to relax.

I only had to replace my front brake hose. The rest fit with some rerouting.

I actually just purchased an 07 Fatty w/ 16" hangers. I have never had hangers before - I put a few hundred miles on them this weekend and I really liked them. I'm 5' 10" and didn't have any issues.
