Arrow Sturgis and Apes

My question to anyone who lives there or who has been there is how bad are the LEO's on Apes. I plan on going this year but have installed Apes that are slightly above my shoulders and are 14's. Should I be concerned or do they not bother you unless they are really tall.

If you're really that concerned, change them or don't go.

LOL with the contraptions i've seen at Sturgis theyd have 100,000 ppl pulled for infractions.
They seem to just be around for crowd control and to stop the occasional bit of violence and to make sure the Pasties are on correct.
Bars will be the last thing theyll be thinking about.
SD says "below shoulder height"
Here is a handy bar height link!

Check your home state for the applicable law,,for instance Minnesota has no restrictions,,so its pretty difficult to enforce something more than your base law.

LE at Sturgis have much more to worry about than ball breaking over apes. You'll be good to go.

I have a friend who has got ticketed for Apes during the Rally. I believe he got his ticket in Lead and it was at night, so it was a good excuse to pull him over to check for DUI.

I've never had an issue and I have 16s.

Most of the laws are, "Don't be a dick" laws.

Around downtown its stop all the way, don't showboat, don't ride like a moron. The LEOs love those 4 way stops for writing tickets.
