What apes ya runnin? 3 Years, 2 Months ago
|
|
I'm in the market and want to get some input from you guys. I'm between burley and kong but totally open to anything cool in the 16" range.
Also id like to use the stock risers but should I switch to lower rise for the apes?
As always thanks

Get 1.5" thick bars... seriously... you WON'T be sorry, and they make your bike look a lot phatter. 1 1/2" thick bars make internal wiring a heck of a lot easier too. I'm running 16" tall, 1.5" thick bars made by Tolemar Mfg. (who makes them for Drag Specialties). Got them through Clifford here on the clinic at a GREAT price. I couldn't be happier.
HERE'S another pic of my bike with the bars on..
Let me know if you have any questions..
:-DD.

I have the Mid USA Chubby Apes, in a 16", and am happy with the quality. I cannot speak for the Burly or Kong bars as I have not ran either yet. I would run at least the stock risers. You would have a hard time finding any lower ones than stock anyways.

I just went to ebay and found a nice set of HD apes 1.25" thick and 16" tall... worked great for me, but I did have to modify my risers to get them to fit... it was easy too...

Did you have to go with new risers to make those fit?
