I'm getting conflicting info from service techs and web sites. Are they 10" or 12"? I want to put black Burly narrow glide apes on mine but want to make sure 16" aren't too much. BTW, anyone put taller apes on '09 with integrated risers? Photos? Thanks in advance to all.

 

check out this thread for pics of the 16" burly narrow apes on an '09 with stock risers.

i couldn't really get a straight answer on my bars for my '08. parts guy at harley told me they were 10" and the tech at my local indy measured them at about 12...who knows.

 

Harley mini-apes are 10" That is why they are called mini, which is anything UNDER 12"
Factory mini ape specs:
Tip to tip= 32"
Base width= 10"
Rise= 10"
Pull back= 6.5"

 

Mini Apes, as said under 12" They are just perfect. How anyone can really control a bike with 16" apes is beyond me. I think the bike then controls them.

 

Measured the bar height on my 07 bob, last night, they were 10" rise.

 

Measured mine too...10" they are..Am goin Burly narrow apes too in spring but the 14" version..16" look a bit high.

 

thats why you ride with kneepads.

 

fat mini apes with fat risers.... ~13"

 

Thanks to Toastman for the link to the thread showing the photos, and to everyone else thanks also.

 

I'd be willing to put 14" inches on the future SB I will own

Depends on your height tho...I'm 6 feet what do you think would be best?
