Title: Re: ape hangers on now-pics Post by ausmerican on 06/21/07 at 18:56:07 I have drag bars on my 07 S40 and they are pretty comfortable but the APES just look so cool. But I have to find some small risers off a Savage as well as buy the bars. Where did u get the bars ? Were they expensive ? |

Title: Re: ape hangers on now-pics Post by ausmerican on 06/21/07 at 19:20:49 Hey I checked that site but can't find them in fact I can't see any bars for $36. Without sounding stupid which section are they in or what do I search ? Or if you have the direct link to the bars that would be cool. Thanx |

Title: Re: ape hangers on now-pics Post by bduff on 06/22/07 at 11:25:47 wow........this might be my first mod. |

Title: Re: ape hangers on now-pics Post by Savage_Rob on 06/22/07 at 11:32:17 I have this $29 set of 36" wide drag bars on mine and I don't see changing them. I like 'em too much. http://store.wpsracing.com/wiandlowhafo2.html Be sure you understand that the stock bars have weights inside them and the stock ends are simply plastic caps. I filled my drag bars with BBs and epoxied them in at the ends to reduce vibration. I also have Kuryakyn grips on them. |

Title: Re: ape hangers on now-pics Post by cFLOW on 06/22/07 at 12:36:17 You all know the cheap drag bar I had on mine, now I have a set of 12" apes and would not trade them for the world. I can now ride forever/until I need gas with no back pain. |
|
Title: Re: ape hangers on now-pics Post by vroom1776 on 06/22/07 at 12:45:50 yep, the drags look cool as well, but basically suck for comfort. |
|
Title: Re: ape hangers on now-pics Post by Savage_Rob on 06/22/07 at 13:01:37 That's odd. I find mine very comfortable. |
|
Title: Re: ape hangers on now-pics Post by vroom1776 on 06/22/07 at 14:15:42 you've got a bit of rise & pullback in there, right? The drags I was running was a 32" long piece of pipe. I'm gonna throw some V* handlebars aon Voomette's savage. then we'll try some apes if she wants. |
|
Title: Re: ape hangers on now-pics Post by Savage_Rob on 06/23/07 at 20:36:06 Yeah, mine are 36" wide with pullback on both the bars and on the risers. I see what you mean. If the risers and bars were straight I'd be leaning over the tank. |

Title: Re: ape hangers on now-pics Post by Strafford_Guy on 06/24/07 at 22:49:39 I can't find a search anywhere on the site :-/ At least I did find the free catalog link and sent for one( good library reading ;)) That has got to be the least thought out site I had ever had the pleasure of looking at. The apes do look great though. |
|
Title: Re: ape hangers on now-pics Post by ausmerican on 06/27/07 at 14:36:02 Do you need to use weights in the apes ? If so what do you use ? :-/ |

I didn't have any weights in mine but if you did need something there are many available options. Everything from the "Bar snake" to a roll of pennies. Some have even filled the bars with BBs. |

Title: Re: ape hangers on now-pics Post by wvchoppers on 06/28/07 at 05:34:02 you dont have to have weights in the bars....i cant figure out why in the world you'd even need them? ??? |

Title: Re: ape hangers on now-pics Post by Savage_Rob on 06/28/07 at 05:41:15 Handlebar weights can reduce vibration. |

Title: Re: ape hangers on now-pics Post by pa.storm on 07/03/07 at 09:29:16 It says that the bar is knurled. Does the knurling show from under the riser? |

Title: Re: ape hangers on now-pics Post by vroom1776 on 07/03/07 at 10:13:18 mine do. |
|
Title: Re: ape hangers on now-pics Post by ausmerican on 07/03/07 at 13:24:57 I just ordered a pair of these bars and the shape is good but the chrome on mine was peeling off like it was foil. I am in the process of returning these. Maybe I just got a bad pair ????? :( |
