Default Ape hangers on 2003 sporty 1200c
Hello all! I'm new to the forums here. I have a 2003 Harley Davidson Sportster 1200c anniversary edition. I want to put on ape hangers. I'm thinking about 14". I'm 6' 1". What does everyone think?

I think you should, since they're on 3/4 of the bikes on the road.

When you say trade up you must mean to trade for a NEWER Sportster, right. My primary bike is a Sportster and my backup bike is a Fatboy. I love em both and don't hold either in higher regard than the other.

Damn. My last post was retarded. I was reading one thread and posted to another. Don't know how that happened but I guess I should only post when I'm awake.

After 25+ years of "no bike" and finally getting 2 kids thru college with no student debt, I bought a 2003 XL883C last month.
Then found a 2088 FXD 2 weeks ago.
Yep, now I have them both . The XL is a great "city" bike and I love the FXD for the road.
Plus when my son comes to visit we both have a bike to ride...
