RE: I've got no luck ... ape hangers
I hear ya ...
If your at all capable ... and can do it yourself, you'll save a bunch of money in labour. And it can be a good winter project.
In my case, I knew I couldn't afford it. .... So I did what any financially responsible adult would do .... I financed the parts AND the labour when I bought the bike. Turned out to be an extra few dollars a month on my payment.
I'm glad I did tho, because i was getting some serious pain in my back with the stock bars. I was actually afraid that the apes would be worse, but they're perfect. No pain at all.
Good luck with your upgrades!!

For what it's worth, I find the 14's fit me well. I'm 5'9 and with them pushed forward slightly, my hands are about level ... or maybe a bit higher ... than my shoulders.
If there was nohandle bar lawwhere I live, I would've went with the 16's. I felt like the 14'swere as high as I could go without drawing too muchunwanted attention. From the short time I've had the 14's on, I think I would like the 16's a bit more.
