Default What size apes are these?


I test rode a used RKS with these Apes. It felt comfortable for me. Test ride only lasted about 20 minutes so not sure if I should get higher bars.

Reference i am 5'10 to with boots on, weight 170

The dealer wanted 19k for this 2017 RKS with 4k miles. I declined after their sales tactics focused on monthly payment vs total price.

Search continues!

Hard to tell fm pic...IMO, why not use your own body/bike to measure f/ higher bars? Pretty easy: (1) sit upright on bike, (2) close eyes, (3) hold hands where it's most comfortable, (4) open eyes & (5) measure height fm point of hands to point of riser. Then you have "your" measurement vs. one that's a best guesstimate.

Why not call where you test rode the bike and ask.

I'm about the same height/weight you are , my best guess is those are 14" . They seem to be level with your shoulder height . I had 14" on my last bike and they were level with my shoulders .

Keep in mind , seat height can play a factor in it also .

Follow Iceman's advice and won't go wrong in finding the right bars that suit you . Measure height and width . Also keep in mind , watch your wrist placement , you may want bars that have less/more pull back .

Good luck !!

If you blow up the photo , you can see a logo just above the right signal light ... Here's what I think they are ..
