#498122 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2228 Handling Question RE Beachbars v Apes in Twisties 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   For those who've gone from Beachbars to Apes, [no more than 14"] how does the handling compare, especially in the twisties?   Logged     The world breaks everyone, and afterward, *some* are strong at the broken places.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #498132 PhatRJ (User) Smack 'em Yack 'em Expert Boarder Posts: 544 Re:Handling Question RE Beachbars v Apes in Twisties 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Doc_V wrote: For those who've gone from Beachbars to Apes, [no more than 14"] how does the handling compare, especially in the twisties?

I was wondering if small to med apes might be a little better at handling.   Logged     The world breaks everyone, and afterward, *some* are strong at the broken places.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #498162 Tug (User) ride free. live free. or die tryin Platinum Boarder Posts: 4791 Re:Handling Question RE Beachbars v Apes in Twisties 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Having went from apes on the old bike to beach bars on this one I like the beach bars much better, especially with a back rest   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #498201 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2228 Re:Handling Question RE Beachbars v Apes in Twisties 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Tug wrote: Having went from apes on the old bike to beach bars on this one I like the beach bars much better, especially with a back rest Are you talking about comfort or handling? ...and again, keep in mind, I'm talking about twisty mountain roads, not freeways etc.   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/06/01 15:39 By Doc_V.   The world breaks everyone, and afterward, *some* are strong at the broken places.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #498203 Tug (User) ride free. live free. or die tryin Platinum Boarder Posts: 4791 Re:Handling Question RE Beachbars v Apes in Twisties 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Doc_V wrote: Tug wrote: Having went from apes on the old bike to beach bars on this one I like the beach bars much better, especially with a back rest Are you talking about comfort or handling?

Platinum Boarder Posts: 2782 Re:Handling Question RE Beachbars v Apes in Twisties 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I will put it to ya this way... adding apes is like adding power steering... I can ride the dragon with one hand with my apes.... and I have witness to that... right Mike? But, the told saying goes, the bigger the bike, the bigger the bars... meaning width wise... beach bars and apes should guide about the same... height is personal preference...   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/06/01 16:24 By theGRINDER.   Photo Album   The administrator has disabled public write access. #498239 Tug (User) ride free. live free. or die tryin Platinum Boarder Posts: 4791 Re:Handling Question RE Beachbars v Apes in Twisties 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   theGRINDER wrote: I will put it to ya this way... adding apes is like adding power steering...

It's harder if yer' stupid(J.Wayne) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5054 Re:Handling Question RE Beachbars v Apes in Twisties 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I don't think anybody ever added apes with the expectation that they would handle better... Personally, I'm willing to take the turns 5 miles an hour slower and look cool as **** doing it...
