#159734 Fifty Yet (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 340 14" apes is 8" over stock ok 3 Years, 3 Months ago   Hey guys I am going to put on 14" ape hangers and wondering if 8" over stock is enough to make it happen.

I have 16's with 10+ cables...   Logged     Photo Album   The administrator has disabled public write access. #159741 Fifty Yet (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 340 Re:14" apes is 8" over stock ok 3 Years, 3 Months ago   excellent thanks   Logged     [img size=150][/img]/Users/johnbeutler/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Modified/2009/Aug 8, 2009/DSC00271.JPG   The administrator has disabled public write access. #159827 cartersta (User) jackncoke summer coolant, winter antifreeze Platinum Boarder Posts: 1562 Re:14" apes is 8" over stock ok 3 Years, 3 Months ago   so what is stock? how much rise, pullback &ext is in the handlebars? what is the length of the stock brake line, clutch and throttle cables? i think that would be good for everyone to know/   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #159829 theGRINDER (User) Any xistence dprived of freedom is a kind of death Platinum Boarder Posts: 1801 Re:14" apes is 8" over stock ok 3 Years, 3 Months ago   Normally, with ape hangers, the rule of thumb is.... 12"=6+... 14"=8+... 16"=10+ and so on   Logged     Photo Album   The administrator has disabled public write access. #159837 JMayton (User) Heading down a road I've never been down before. Gold Boarder Posts: 613 Re:14" apes is 8" over stock ok 3 Years, 3 Months ago   I put 4 inch risers with a 2 pull back on my bike years ago. I'm thinking of going to apes but leaving the risers on. What do you all think; 12's or 14's? My cables are about too tight now so I know I'll need a whole new set. Any additonal ideas or suggestions would be welcome.   Logged     http://www.sailblogs.com/member/felixfelicis/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #159849 chico (User) "EL BANDIDO" says lets ride man,lets ride!!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1113 Re:14" apes is 8" over stock ok 3 Years, 3 Months ago   I put Barons Kong Bars on my 05 R*, which are 17" rise with the stock risers and my grips are just above my shoulders. Its a good feel...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #159853 theGRINDER (User) Any xistence dprived of freedom is a kind of death Platinum Boarder Posts: 1801 Re:14 3 Years, 3 Months ago   JMayton wrote: I put 4 inch risers with a 2 pull back on my bike years ago.

Any additonal ideas or suggestions would be welcome. My honest opinion (and these like are like noses, everybody has one) is to go back to your stock height risers and get the height apes you want... for a couple of reasons... first and best... they look a heck of a lot better! two, you can buy apes in just about any size and shape with the pullback and width you want or desire... The more fancy ones, of course, cost a crap load more! The height of apes that you want depends on you... put your arms out to where you want them to be and have a friend measure from the bottom of your existing bars to where ever your hands are and there ya go... Hope this helps....   Logged     Photo Album   The administrator has disabled public write access.
