Default Question for owners with aftermarket ape hangers

Has anyone installed ape hangers with 3.5in knurl spacing on their Springer? Have you had any issues? I have a 2008 Cross Bones and want taller apes. However, the center width for Springer apes are too wide for my taste. Thanks!

not sure that I would like the look. Nor have I ever seen apes on them before. https://www.jpcycles.com/product/500...SABEgLVU_D_BwE

I have a Xbones and installed 10" apes. the challenge is the mounting width for sure. If you are getting 1" bars you may get away with it if the base is wide enough end to end. but if you are getting 1.5" chubby bars then you will need to get springer specific Apes. with the proper space for mounting.

I highly advice you swap your riser mounts too as the factory X-bones risers lose grip easily so the bars rotate out of position, and it would likely be worse if the knurls aren't in the right locations.

Here is a link to the Wild1 site. They have Springer specific risers/bars which will make your live much easier when it comes time to install

Dig the black spokes. I think it's about time to have mine changed for black. Tired of trying to keep them clean.
