Apes in Austin
« on: June 24, 2012, 10:06:40 PM »
Hey guys just moved here from Illinois. I got 18" apes on my X and am wondering what I should expect from APD or state troopers. Am I gonna get hassled? I see tons of apes around town. Just lookin to avoid trouble.

I don't think there will be an issue. And welcome to the board and Texas.  :thumbup:

I don't think you will have any issues.  Too many with the same or 24's and never seen anyone stopped for apes!!  Welcome to the board!!!

You probably won't have any problem with the cops but if I am not mistaken 15 inch above the seat is the legal limit for a state inspection. Welcome to Texas, glad you made it!

The bars shouldn't be a problem, but the PoPo suck here in Austin.
