Just picked up my 48... Already ordered the very unique short shots lol...
And a black number 1 skull timing cover. Now on to the bars...

I'm trying to decide between 10-14" apes or low rise z bars...
My bike is a orange 2012 48.... With all in one rear sissy bar...

I go back and forth between the apes and the licks lowball z bars...

Which would you go with and why? Also does anyone know of different kind of apes I like narrow and sharp bends... Like the roads 6 but also the friscos don't look bad...Maybe if I can find a cheap $50 pair and just try em out idk

 

Try a pair 12 inch apes, I had 8 inch Zs, Now I have 10 inch apes and feels much better, They do have an inch more of pull back compared to the zs that I dont like, but they are also a lot less headache to internally wire and everything. How tall are you?

 

I like Zs because................well I just do.

 

i would go with the Z bars imo. and i can sell u a pair of 8" ones too.

 

Here's mine when I had Z bars and now with the 12" apes.

 

The apes look awesome on your bike

 

I wouldnt go with apes just because I dont ride for short rides and would lose feeling in my arms.

 

Apes would be more comfortable on long rides than most other bars..

 

Keep in mind, you do apes and your doin wires, cables, brake line too...
Maybe go to ur local dealer or bike joint. See if they have something with apes you can sit on and try to get a feel.

 

16" apes here... my arms have never gone numb.
