The 70's are back in, and guys knew back then that hands around shoulder height is COMFORTABLE!

 

apes give the rider of free falling, but in a forward motion. Freedom!

 

Then why do you hardly ever see them on touring bikes?

 

?? Your not looking if you dont see them on touring bikes

 

your seeing more mod threads because its winter who wants to tie up their bike in the garage in the summer.I will be adding 12.5 wild 1 on mine next week .

 

I took a chance & put them on my FB on the advice of a friend. Every Harley I ever owned caused pain in my neck/shoulder area after a hundred miles or so. I was told the apes at shoulder height would help, and luckily, they did.

 

LOL, I didn't say you never see them, just that they're rare, particularly when you include all touring bikes and not just Harleys. They don't seem to have ever really caught on with the high-comfort crowd.

 

TO ME...Some bikes look great with them, some look like pretty silly. When I changed my bars, I didn't want to go that route because of the cost in cables and I didn't want them on my my bike. But, to each their own.

 

They were comfortable in 70's on my triumph hard tail and my BSA hard tail! !!!

JUST as they are today on my FXSTC. Damm snotty nose Kids
RIPPED OFF MY IDEA! LMFAO

 

Around here more Harley's in the late 60's-70's had apes than the bikes I see these days.
