been looking for a set of ape hangers that don't have so much pullback. everything seems to be 7" or more. anyone found any 14" to 16" apes that don't have so much pull back? i made a "mock set" of bars with some pipe from work, and they only have 3" of pullback with a 14" finish rise (16" total) i like the look of roland sands king apes but again, same issue. what are you guys using?

 

Carlini Gangster apes are swept forward, they don't appear to have a whole lot of pullback.

 

burly brand bars are what i run no noticable pull back

 

Frisco's dont have much pull back if any.

 

There are plenty of folks that will bend/build to suit. I had Front Street Cycles build some for me and the bars are top notch

 

Wild 1 chubbys. I have "16 and they've been great

 

I went thru the same thing. I wanted my knuckles straight like drag bars but up. It was suggested I go with Carlini's. I did and LOVE them. I got the 12-1/2" Gangsters which measure closer to 14 or 14-1/2". If you need pics just let me know.
I had Wild Ones on before but had waayyy too much pull back. Glad I spent the $400ish on the Carlini's

 

I've also got the Wild One 16" Chubbies, and love 'em. But they have 12.5" pullback according to the website, so won't help you much. But they are nice clean bars....

 

yea if you got pics i'd like to take a look. it's hard to judge bars from a website without seeing them on a bike. i like the forks and bars to be parallel from a side view (though i suppose it depends on rider position and if you have long monkey arms). not a fan of the look where bars are pushed way forward

 

he's got some pretty unique bars. some cool stuff on ebay
