Love Harleys, love mods, but just don't get Ape handlebars. Can't believe they are comfortable, safe or good for a long ride. Am I missing the boat?

RE: Don't "get it"
In my opinion, your comfort with apes on a bike is all about positioning. They can be very comfortable and be easy to handle with, or they can hurt and make you wobble everywhere. Every person varies in height, reach, etc. I've played around with the positioning of my apes a lot, and just today moved them back to where they were perfectly in line with the forks. Now, this looks cool as hell like that..but I doubt i'll be leaving them like that because they're too close to me. Whereas they may be perfect for a smaller person (i'm a big ol' bastard)..it's all about the positioning.

the more i live the less i try to understand the strange (to me) shyt people do. apes make no sence to me either, but, i dont have to put them on my bike.
i think thekey to a lot of things is to notknock someone for doing something you would never do. it doesnt make them stupid, wrong, or crazy be cause YOU wouldnt do the same. stop thinking you are the athority on whats, right, cool, or fun

your hands shouldn't be above your heart for extended periods of time. i have observed many a rider shaking their hands back awake at stoplights. again i'll stress there must be a reason that they are illegal in most states and it isn't because the look goofy. you won't ride thru Florida without getting a ticket unless you are fortunate.
