wondering if anybody could point me into the right direction to where i could find the best ape hangers for a decent prices and some helpful tips on installing them personally.

Thanks for any help!




2010 street glide! looking at changing my handlebars to Ape hangers<br/>

 

There are endless amounts of apes out there for SGs. What style/height you looking for? I wanted to stay inside the fairing so I got 10" Yaffee bars. Pricey and sometimes their on backorder. I suggest you goto bikenights/wherever and look at bar styles you like. Talk to owners, maybe just maybe they might let you sit on their bike so you can see how bars feel.
Good luck.

 

thanks for the advice! yeah I've been to other MC bike nights and seen some nice ones. looking at doing 13in. ape

 

Mine are 13 in cyclesmiths. I did not install them

 

In the process of installing 14" yaffe monkey bars on my street glide . Absolute pain in the *** to pull wires thru the bars but they look awesome.

 

I did the 12" HD bars and was able to reuse the stock clutch cable and brake lines. The factory wiring harness is long enough as well. I ride year round so I wanted to go as high as possible without putting my hands above the fairing and these were perfect. Since I installed them myself my only expense was the bars. No regrets here

 

Kst mayhems, nuff said

 

One thing to consider about bar height is your fairing mounted mirrors. As you can see in the above 12 bar pic, the mirrors are partially covered. From what I've seen, 13" bars should be ok. The only 13" bars I'm aware of are the L A Choppers Prime Apes. Lots of choices in 12 and 14". Some popular choices are Vindikta's , KST Mayhems, and L A Choppers Twin Peaks. Yaffe's too, but they are pricey. Many people on here say they wish they had gone taller. Installation is fairly complex on a batwing and requires inner fairing removal. Most aftermarket bars are drilled so that you can run your wiring inside them, and that requires unpinning the connectors, and splicing some additional length on. Depending on how tall you go you might have to replace your clutch cable and brake line. youtube is a good resource, like this:

 

KST Mayhems or LA Choppers twin peaks. I like the 14" Mayhems the best
