i put on a set of "mini" apes from a harley wide glide, i think the rise was 10.5"...stock cables fit (barely), just had to re-route them some
the best thing is, CHEAP MOD!!!
, the handlebars from jireh's were only $36 shipped!...i just re-used my grips
its now comfortable as can be
, makes the bike feel alot bigger for some reason

thanks for the comps, now other's hopefully can see that this is a cheap, and easy mod to do, and its more comfortable than those buckhorns

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 ?

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

I have this $29 set of 36" wide drag bars on mine and I don't see changing them. I like 'em too much.

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.

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.

yep, the drags look cool as well, but basically suck for comfort.

That's odd. I find mine very comfortable.

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.
