Don asked for some input regarding Ape hangers; specifically if we recommend them or if we consider them to be “torture devices.” Do you have an opinion? - Chelsea Ride_Slow2004 • View posts Northwest Senior Member Joined: 02/02/2005 View Profile Posted: 02/12/10 12:27pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Yes ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles." -Doug Larson Payloader • View posts Denver, Colorado Senior Member Joined: 01/19/2004 View Profile Offline Posted: 02/14/10 07:20pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I love 'em. I don't know where people get this idea that your arms will hurt if you ride with them. I love'em. I have 16" bars on my RKC.

While for the short ride i had they werent uncomfortable really, they were for sure awkward to ride with. howsit2003 • View posts J'ville,Florida Senior Member Joined: 09/13/2005 View Profile Offline Posted: 02/16/10 06:30am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator measured my bars last night.....13"...not including the risers.....

I am thinking of getting some 14" ape Hangars for my Fatboy but one of those things that can't decide.

The wind really beats me up. I'm seriously considering changing out the bars.
