+1 on the Paul Yafee Monkey Bars

 

I am considering putting 16" apes on my SG. My question is if handling is affected and if so, how.

Thanks

 

I'm in the middle of putting a set of 13" Cyclesmiths on my 2011 Street Glide. I like the way they look and even more important I like the way the bike handles. The handling bit comes from riding one with the same setup.

yes I am. Khrome Werks fat bagger apes. 12 inch version.

$149 shipped to my door. All Magnum stainless cables (+6") for all.

 

May I ask how tall are you? 5'6" here, want more pull back and higher grip than my current HD pullback. But I prefer handgrips in line or slightly below fairing. Indy suggests 14" and tilt it back, seems high to me....

 

I have them... Check out my tutorial thread. It may also help you with installation...

I am 6 foot tall. And make sure you are talking the correct pull back. The bars can be rotated forward or backword for comfort.

Pullback is the angle of the grip section of the bars in realtion to the rest of the bar. The more pullback- the greater the angle. Think back to the old "buckhorn" style bars. Those have a large pullback measurement. Drag bars have zero pullback.

 

Monkey Bagger Bar's for me too! Just a note to anyone with a KlockWerks Windshield, you will have to trim it to fit as you can see below at least with the 12" and taller bars not sure about 10". I am 5'11" and got the 12" version. Love the bars!
