Default Rocker with Apes

I've been asked several times to post pics of my Rocker but they naver come through or I get kicked off the site. I give up. If you go to www.wild1inc.com/502rocker.html you can see it. Comments - good or bad - are welcome.

let me give it a shot at posting your pics.

how tall are your risers?

i'm going with 18 inch apes and i'm still trying to decide how tall i should make my risers.

I don't get it. I've posted pics on sites plenty of times without a problem but this site hates me. Anyway, I have 12.5 Apes with shorty 1.5in risers and they fit me perfect. I'm 6 foot and my arms are straight out. I probably would be fine with 14's as well but I think any higher I'd be pushing it. I rode a bike with 18's years ago and my hands kept buzzing and eventually fell asleep. I had a tank lift on it but when I went to the Apes they hit when turned all the way so I took it off. If I went to a 3in it might have cleared but with the Apes on it I'm happy with the tank in the stock position.

ohh, didn't realize that the width of the apes at the bottom would make a difference clearing a tank that's been lifted. i think i found the answer. thanks mike
