Fairings and apes 1 Year, 11 Months ago  
Is it possible to run my kong bars with MS batwing? Does the fairing effect the adjustment of the bars? Any extra parts needed?

Should be no problem at all. The fairing sits out in front of the bars several inches.

Re:Fairings and apes 1 Year, 11 Months ago  
On the subject of Apes, I am looking at the LA choppers Mutha Ape hangers. I noticed it looks like you need a one piece riser because it gets narrower in the center of the bars. These are made for harley's from what I can find. Just wanted to know if there is a year or make of harley that would be the same size one piece riser? Thanks for any help or other ideas to make these work.

I used a 1.25 inch set of apes that narrowed to one inch in the center and at the grip ends, depending on how wide that center one inch section is you can use the stock riser, I had to use a dremel to notch out part of the stock risers but they did work and I think they look really good, for an amateur like me doing it especially. IF UPS() ever gets my cables here I will get a bunch of pictures together and make a photobucket folder with them and post a link in a new thread. I did have to also drill a hole in the botton half of the riser for the wires to run out of.
