Default Ape hanger pullback?

Who else besides PY makes bars with a lot of pull back? I think PY's are 9". I think I want as much as I can get, I have middle back pain from reaching.

I've installed alot of apes and the fit and finish of the yaffe's are second to none, but i will say the wires are a pita to pull through the monkey bars especially with tbw models. Pull back depends on your height and bike model too. Yaffe monkey bars can rotate back and still look good if your shorter. I'm 6'4 and have the 14" monkey bars on my 09sg and there a perfect fit for me even on 300plus mile days.

Take a look at LA Choppers PrimeApes...similar to Yaffe, but cheaper. HandleBarLouie (forum vendor) can cut you a great deal...good luck!

For more pull back you go taller on the bars than you want and then pull them back some towards you

I can't remember the specs but Wild Ones has a lot of pullback. That was the reason I installed Wild One 577's on my 2010 Ultra Classic.

Another question for you guys. I really need to go back 3-4" from stock. I'm 6-1, 230 but I must have shorter arms as I'm not comfortable at all. I don't mind the height of stock, but to get that far back how tall would the apes need to be to pull back that far? 10-12" apes? More?

Also, at what point when you pull them back do they start causing you problem when locking the forks or doing tight turns?

For that much pull back klok werks back bars. PINTA unless you cut off the heated grip plug. But no wiring or cable replacement.
