It's harder if yer' stupid(J.Wayne) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4599 Re:I need some help with picking ape hangers 2 Years, 10 Months ago   Matt: We're about the same height. 15" bars put them right about shoulder height. Mine have a small secondary bend, but I don't think they would have been that much higher. Click on the Flickr photo link for some close-ups. And, Welcome to the site.

First of all check your state law about handlebar height. Then you can go for there and know if your gonna be legal or not.   Logged     2006 Midnight Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #212049 JDoza (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 172 Re:I need some help with picking ape hangers 2 Years, 10 Months ago   I'm 5'7" and went with 14" Apes in the stock risers on my 06' which puts the grips at shoulder level when I sit with good posture. NY State law says shoulder height for M/C bars...   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/07/18 22:31 By JDoza. Reason: Added picture   2006 Candy Red RoadStar...I can not ride it enough.

I'm 6'3" and only have 12 1/4" apes on 4" risers and am looking to go to 16" X 1 1/4" apes next season. But I'll have to change out my cables and brake line again. And have to look into extending the wiring harness. Taller bars aren't the end of the story. Check out the tech section to do the dog bone flip to lower the back end and look into an after market seat to lower you even more. Go for comfort and handling over looks and you won't be disappointed. Unless it's a show bike you want.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/07/19 07:02 By IMTopGun1.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #212084 silvasilv (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1007 Re:I need some help with picking ape hangers 2 Years, 10 Months ago   i am 5'5 and im in the middle of trying to get some 16 inch apes, was going to do 14 but went 16 since there are so many more options for 16 will take pics when i get bars in and on, probably next week   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #212085 JDoza (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 172 Re:I need some help with picking ape hangers 2 Years, 10 Months ago   SA ROADIE wrote: Hey JDoza are those 1 1/4 apes you got on your scoot?

I don't know if you have priced them, while the bars are not too expensive the cables and brake lines will likely cost almost double the bars. I got mine at barons and although pricey I love more than I did my Drag bars.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #212278 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4199 Re:I need some help with picking ape hangers 2 Years, 10 Months ago     Logged     dave   The administrator has disabled public write access.
