apes
Hello Folks.
I am thinking of putting apehangers on my 01 custom, and was wondering what anyone thought of what height and type of apes to go with. Any input would be helpful. Thanks |

To each his own is great I guess.
Are those comfortable ? When I go on a ride it might be 800 miles in a day. The thing I am thinking , I at times like to take a hand off the bars to relax it. Apes to me seem like the ride would get ? wobbly ... |
RE: apes
Apes are great. I urge you to try them. Don't ever go on what someone else says. My bike became much more manageable, easier to turn, better balance with the apes. I can easily ride 1 handed, no handed, with confidence. And I wouldn't have believed it until I tried it. I hated apes.. I had all the usual arguemnts. Not comfortable, dangerous... blah blah... If you likem, or wanna experiment, I say, go for it! All the usual rules apply. Be safe, etc. Let us know how it turns out.

I'll second what Goth said...
Though I think you can easily go overboard on a sportster, meaning the height and width... but with the right proportions I think they look and feel great... Charlie D. |
RE: apes
The apes look cool but remember some states have laws on how tall they can be. Here in NH the is
266:77 Grips; Handlebars. – No person shall drive on a way a motorcycle on which the grips are higher than the shoulder level of the driver when in the seat or saddle. It shall be illegal to drive a motorcycle with improvised, defective, or repaired handlebars. |
RE: apes
Yeah..........in Volusia County in Fl. it's no higher than your shoulder.It's different in other counties.F@CK 'em!!! Ape hangers are very comfortable bars .No wobble or any differencefrom any other bars,just puts your hand in a different position. I love 'em and I won't own a bike without 'em.They gotta be at least 14"-15" inches to considered ape hangers.Anything smaller are minis and aren't really ape hangers although they can be pretty comfortable and cool looking on some bikes as well.Anyway, I say try 'em I think you'll be surprised

RE: apes
Just wondering, cause I was thinking about apes also, is, do your hands go numb after having them on the apes (above the heart) for very long?
