OK...guys, quick question on fitting Ape's, and I hope you don't mind me asking in here. I have a '07 Street Bob, I'm 6,2" so about what size ape's should I be looking for? I'd like to have my hands about shoulder level when I ride.

I don't really have the option to sit on some bikes to get a feel, so I'm going to rely on the experts on here, and I'll be sure and post pix in this thread when I get some put on...lol

Here's what I did.....I went to Home Depot bought a stick of 1/2 PVC and 4- 90* elbows.

Then I took off my bars and made "bars" out of the PVC.

It was do easy and I was able to go from 16" to 10" in a few seconds.

Then I was able to order the right size bars.

I HATE THIS THREAD!

I miss my ape hangers so much! oh silly me, what was I thinking? The looks, the comfort...

I'll try and get some sooner than later, and get back in track. (My apes are on pages 32-33 of this thread)
