Has anyone put Ape Hangers on their Tri Glide or talked to anyone that has? Just wondering if it makes it easier to steer? I ordered some chrome Mayhem 16" to trick out the look a bit, hope they are comfortable!
Don't know what brand they were, but they are 16" and it is unbelievable how easy the steering got. Very comfortable, hands are just below my shoulders.
Don't ask me why I'm not smiling!! Probably getting ready to rain and couldn't ride..
I did not get close to ape hangers, but I just added HD Tallboy bars and I believe the steering is much easier just from those height bars. Just in case anyone was wondering about the effect of bars a little shorter than 16".

I have 9"+ bars on my TG and it made the steering easier for two reason-
1. They are wider, so I have more leverage
2. They are pulled back, making the geometry (for my bad shoulder) better
Another thing you can do for the looks AND for easier steering is add a Convertible Comfort Lift.
