Apehangers are NOT dangerous, they just have a steep learning curve. Clubmans and clip-ons however ARE dangerous, they keep your head too low to really see what is going on around you. Great for their intended environment, the racetrack.

One suggestion since it wasn't mentioned, add slugs in the bar joints. I've made many a set of custom apehangers running chunks of 7/8" bars inside 1" base section and contrl sections. The 7/8" self-slugs, just drill a couple holes and rosette weld them prior to running the full bead on the seams.

Pin your apes once you choose your mounting angle. It's simple to do, drill a hole through the riser cap and the bar. Tap it or use a self-threading bolt. Savage risers are junk, they will strip and let the bars move. I've run apes on mine for the last 7 years.

You don't go any higher than your shoulder height if you want comfort and control.

I have 15" rise on my 98, going to have to drop to 10" rise to be street legal in TN (15" bars + cut down seat = illegal total height). Of course, my turn signals are just decorative (don't work), taiil light is too low/angled wrong, illegal muffler and tail pipe extension, less than securely mounted rear fender, rotten tires...

Hey wd where abouts is rosemark? Im right outside lexington ky.


Oh anyone ever seen the worlds longest chopper? My father in law was the main builder on it check it out sometime if your on google playing around. It was built right here in good ol georgetown,ky

Lol thats an understatement!!!!

Arent Mini Ape bars named wrong? Shoudnt thy be called Monkey Bars?

12" rise and up are apehangers. 8" and 10" list as mini-apes or mid-high rise chopper bars.

Monkey bars? Clubman's and rear sets, rider looks like a monkey F'n a football...

they don't look to be an inch in diameter, way to thin.
And there is a reason they call them "Apes"
To me anyway they look rediculous,very unsafe, the handling must be god awfull. Make sure you have medical insurance before you venture out on your beast..
