Tips on riding with ape hangers?
#4
Don't knock it till you try it, I might have jumped into it before I knew about the quarks, but I think it is better riding for me back.. and damn it looks bad *** too. I had to ask for help on this project, I'm not good with ele/cable extension. Took a bath in labor cost having someone else do it for me. What have you guys paid for raising your handlebars??

I went straight from drags to 10" apes and loved em only looked too wide at the bottom imo so changed them for 12" narrow apes and internal wired them and luv the look. Can't really give any tips but would say at first I was like whoa! But after a few rides everything feels fine and you get used to the buffeting at speeds. Enjoy em 👍🏻

I have 8" mini apes that are perfect height meaning my arms/shoulders are relaxed while riding unlike those tall apes. Ever work on a job where your hands are above your shoulders for any length of time? Eventually it gets painful until you rest your arms. For cruising apes are ok but if you think your bike handles the same in that hand position your sadly mistaken. It's horrible for corner carving where you want your weight forward on the bars. Also you become like a parachute catching air in that riding position at highway speeds. They do look cool none the less.
