Here are a few pics of the Maple FLTRXSE with the 13 inch LA Choppers Primeapes installed.  All wiring and hydraulic lines are stock, didnt have to change any of them.  That being said, I have decided the clutch line is too tight so I am having it replaced.

OK,I am really liking these.  Went to the dealer website and saw the short video of a rider.  That was a nice way to see the fit for an average guy's riding position.

Can you tell me why you chose  these over others?  What are the differences?

13" is a nice moderate rise.  I like that.    When these apes get too high on a roady I fell like the bike looks like a grasshopper...(guy told me that before and now I cant get it out of my mind!)

But yours, in black, at 13" is good!

Please post more pics (maybe with you on it for reference?)

And how bout a review of the ride/handling and stuff!

Thanks!

Thanks! Details:

Fender and Lowers are from HawgHalters - http://www.hawghalters.com/
 - Fender painted locally here in Akron, Ohio area ($600 for paint alone)
 - Spacers required due to leg change with that fender combo (also bought through Hawg Halters)
 - Progressive Monotubes added in front with 1" lowering option to get almost back to stock height after 21" wheel increase in front height.

Wheels are PM Heathens (21x17 combo)
 - Went to single sided caliper (6 piston) also from PM
 - Wheels were a package deal from Coastal Moto in FL - http://www.coastalmoto.com/

Bike rides better than stock.
