    That's 2 words.

    As far as the first picture goes, the cross member support looks like it interferes with the ignition key and a PITA to remove the console cover.

    I would not like to do the mini apes for the looks. To me a motorcycle is all about comfort with performance. If it looks good while doing it then that is something amazing. That is why I think all I need to do is add the Helibars to get me back about 4 inches into my back rest luggage on long trips or up against my Mustang seat built in backrest.

    I do not want to mess with the look of the bike. Believe me my F6B is my baby and I love her. I almost got in a few fights when I enthusiastically talked / bragged about how much better the F6B was than any Harley I ever rode at the bars in Thunder Beach.

    How is the project going with the tour pack made for the F6B that is a drivers back rest and an extended tour pack with rear speaker pods?

    They have their place, but I just don't see it on the B. First set I saw on a touring bike was on a Road Glide and I thought it looked so stupid. Mini apes on a Wide Glide, Heritage or bobber----hey--go for it. Kind of like a guy who puts the doughnut spare tires all around on his Civic wanting to be different. Yea, it is different but in a bad sort of way and actually limits performance.

    In the end--your bike--your money---not my job to tell you what what like but it looks like a step in the wrong direction to get the most benefit out of the bike.

    If you lower the back end either by seat or suspension apes follow the lines of the bike, I like them a lot but having to buy Heli bars and the bars is too expensive. Don't let others discourage you, if you like it do it.
