#444196 Chadmans06 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 41 Ape Hangers 1 Year, 5 Months ago   Hey all, I am looking into getting some apes as soon as I can. I am thinking along the lines of 14 inchers. I was wondering what you guys would think of these http://www.road6customs.com/online-shop.html#ecwid:category=337157&mode=product&product=1136434 I have contacted the guys there and they can custom do the knurling for the risers on the R^ I am just wondering about the dimple spacing in comparison to the Harleys? Is it that much of a difference? I might be able to see about them custom doing that also. I was wondering on what length of lines I will need and where is a good place to get them for a good price? Thanks guys for your time and any input is greatly appreciated.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/12/16 01:55 By Chadmans06.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #444198 artybuck (User) Live to Ride, Ride to Live Junior Boarder Posts: 124 Re:Ape Hangers 1 Year, 5 Months ago   how tall are you? I'm 6' and went with 16"x1", feel i coulda gone to 19" but 16 is probably enough. I may go new risers one day ... going 16" I re-routed the clutch and throttle (ditched the lower throttle cable)(temp situation) and extended the electrics wires. if i had more available funds ida gone for the 1¼" with wiring inside. all aside apes are great!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #444218 JohnnyBravo (User) I'm serious, and don't call me Shirley Platinum Boarder Posts: 1599 Re:Ape Hangers 1 Year, 5 Months ago   I'd recommend going with 1 1/4 inch bars. They have less flex and are easier to run wires thru. As far as the dimpling, the spacing is different. Couldn't get your link to work so I can't help you there.   Logged     guns are meant to be shot Harley, not thrown   The administrator has disabled public write access. #444239 silly2635 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 123 Re:Ape Hangers 1 Year, 5 Months ago   They'll do the dimpling just let them know the center spacing for them. I got the same in 16 with the wires ran inside 1 1/4 would have been easier but I love them anyway. Fast turn around from the company too, received mine in 5 days that's with them building them and sending them down the road to be powder coated then shipping to me.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #444241 theGRINDER (User) NO REGRETS! Platinum Boarder Posts: 2782 Re:Ape Hangers 1 Year, 5 Months ago   If you go to Barons Customs, they have 14"(Kong Jr) and 16"(Kongs) with the proper spacing for your risers and they come in 1.25" diameter... If I had it to do over again, that is the way I would go... I went with HD bars and had to take 1/8" of both risers for the HD bars to fit the risers... but, I did all this to run HD controls because I like them much better than the metric controls... 1.25" bars will allow internal wiring with better ease... any smaller and you will be fighting an uphill battle...   Logged     Photo Album   The administrator has disabled public write access. #444246 Vette468 (User) HOT ROD GUY HERE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1076 Re:Ape Hangers 1 Year, 5 Months ago   Hey GRINDER" In your pic "which is AWESOME" ! you have "14" inch Harley bars right ? thanks   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/12/16 09:36 By Vette468.   Hot Rod guy ,, Im into building Hot Rodz and Cool Scoots and Cruizn both http://s452.photobucket.com/albums/qq247/vette468guy/?start=all   The administrator has disabled public write access. #444247 theGRINDER (User) NO REGRETS!

Everything was spot on. Unfortunately Burly are no longer catering for metric and I think i got the last of them from Pacific Coast Star.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
