anyone remove apes for lower extended reach or ??
I have been toying with the idea of changing out the apes for some 4" risers with 2" pullback, and a set of extended reach bars. Ilike to lean backwhile riding and to do this I need to have the bars back further and well maybenot so tall. Ilove the look of apes, but I amdoubting the idea of long rideswith them. Maybe just me but I am lookingfor advice from anyone. Thanks for your time on this.

I haven't gone with lower bars, but I say do it! You won't have to extend anything and will be able to go internal wired while your at it. There are some on here that have gone with drag style bars and even one with beach bars. Good luck.

RE: anyone remove apes for lower extended reach or ??
Guys, thanks for the replys.
Huebie, that is something like what I was looking for possible. I have been looking at different variations and have been just looking for that right combo and was just wondering what others have done to accomplish this. I am a rookie when it comes to measuring bars and how all the numbers corralate to each other. The one that throws me is the "Pullback" numbers. I have tried to rotate my mini-apes back, but then the grips are basically facing the down and this is not very comfortable. So I am trying to figure this all out.
Again, thanks for any responses.

Roadtrain,
That is exactly what I was talking about. I hate the idea of having to get rid of the Apes, but dam it is just to far to reach comfortably with long travels. Thanks for the pics, this is what I was looking for.
Boogie,
You are exactly correct on the sin of rolling them back, this is why I am going with the risers. I can not do this sin, it just is not right.
