Alright well yesterday I took about a 400 mile trip on my street glide and got really sore in my shoulders and back between my shoulders. I have never had this problem before even on 1000 mile trips. Right now I have wild one 575 bars but im looking at getting Ape's probably the Yaffe monkey bar 12 inch.
So my questions are, How do you like them if you have them? Is it more comfortable on long trips? and post pictures if you got the Yaffe's or other brands. By the way I am about 5'10 do yall think the 12 inch apes will be good?

 

im 6'2 and have 15 inch monkey bars, and love them. i could really stand to go higher but was scared how they would look with the fairing.

 

I have a set of 12" Apes on my RK and you are going to have to get used to them also, mine where damned uncomfortable the first few times out , I can 6 hours at time now that I got the new muscle groups broken in.

 

i have done the 10" PYO bar on my Ultra. One thing is sure that you will like it!!! It's more comfortable than the OEM for riding and you will discover the wind on your fingers which is a good thing when it's hot (today 33°C)

To finish, your glide will look better with

hope it help

 

No brainer for comfort.

 

I have Wild1 12.5 bagger apes, I use to have low back pains and they have cured that, now on long rides it's shoulder pains, my belief is tall bars are easier on the back worse on neck and shoulder however when my neck or shoulder gets sore I can ride with 1 hand and it stops hurting, when I had shorter bars and my back hurt there was nothing I could do for it

 

Thanks for the reply's guys. Pit1600 how tall are you?

 

i have 16's on mine and i'm 6'1 and love them before that i had neck and lower back pain. i felt like i was reaching forward and down with OEM bars. all in all i think u will be VERY happy with them.

 

I am 5'8 and I went with 12 inch Monkey Bars. Much more comfortable. No more pain on my shoulders.

 

Properly sized & shaped, they can be VERY comfy.

I researched for a LONG time. I finally choose a set of 1.5" Sweeping Beaters BR Customs. They are KICKAZZ!!!!

Every set is custom made to YOUR size & spec. You can get them chrome, powder coated, or raw and with or w/o internal wiring.
