My 14" bars saved me from giving up riding. If my hands aren't at least shoulder height I can't ride more than 100 miles. I don't know why that is but it makes me wonder how riders have called it quits because of the stabbing pain of riding with stock bars. Watching your videos you've touch on the benefits and it's 100% accurate!

I just want to thank you for making such detailed videos... I just finished up my 14" bars on my streetglide... Thanks alot and as always keep up the good work👍

I run 15" bars on my 2015 Road Glide, perfect ride. I'm 6' and run a Saddlemen seat with a 10" Klock werks windshield.

14 in ape hangers on my 2020 lowrider had a little problems but got them solved and love them they look awesome😎

payless work mates!!! incredible work with this video for all community over the world. Congratulations and thank you from Spain.

At 5-10 I have a lower profile Saddleman 2-up seat on my Softail Deluxe. With 16" HD Apes they appear more like 18" because of the lower seat height. I could not be happier with how comfortable they are compared to stock handlebars! To each their own, but it's been my experience that when people who talk poorly about Apes actually try them they are amazed at how much more comfortable they are than stock bars.

Been trying to decide between the 12" and 14" bars and this definitely helped.

Thank you for doing this video. It definitely helped my decision on what bars to go with.

In the 1960s, I ran Flanders ape hangers which were approximately 14" high. Those bars were just above shoulder height with me on the seat. I was pulled over by cops more times than I could count. Eventually, I switched to a lower handlebar.

Cops don't pull folks over for ape hangar height much anymore...at least, not in the 25yrs that I've been riding, I've never heard anyone complain of it...as long as they aren't 20 or more where it's crazy, I doubt any1 would have police problem with tall bars

This video has solved such a dilemma for me. I haven't been able to decide what inches to get based on how it looks installed with someone actually sitting on the bike. Think I'm going to go with 13 or 14 inches. Thanks!

I owned a 1973 Honda 750 four with King Queen seat and 15” ape bars. It was semi-chopped and the control you had over the bike with these bars was just great!! I had a few panic stops because of other vehicles that stopped purposely in front of me, or turned broadside in front of me, and these 15”ape bars allowed me to have control even when because of no ABS the rear wheel was at almost 90 degree angle and I was still able to come out of it and stabilize.

These are videos that really help you. Good job 👍

thanks bud! now i know exactly what size to pick up!

Extremely helpful video, thank you👍🏼

I’ve ran 16s on 3 bikes. 2 with mustang seats the other with a saddleman. I’m 6’ 2” they are perfect plus I like wide handlebars

great videos!, i reciently purchased a Softail street bob and your videos are super helpful!.

Thanks man. That's what I needed to see.

I searched the topic to hear some compressed exhaust but this was more useful and informative so thank you 😂

Just bought a Softail Slim S. I’m coming to you this summer to get those bars! I’m a few hours away from your shop but I enjoy your videos and ride across Texas to get that Pro Quality 💯

Thanks for this video. Very informative

As always, thanks for the great video. Much appreciated.

everyone has different comfort ranges. I like mine as tho I am resting them on a table, this also allow for most movement when handling the bike, too high and my fingers start to tingle and between my shoulders start to fatigue. even with all this I am looking for slightly higher on my road glide but only 2-4 inches at max. also some people can get thinner seats or a seat lowering kit which will also change the arm position.

Great idea! Love this video, Yall should Definitely do a part 2 where you show the side view longer for each one (clips were really short) a back view and a front view would be great too! Just an idea.

This helped a lot, Thanks✌

20" bagger bars on my electra glide. had 16" on my cvo ultra classic but wanted more

Thanku bro loved every vid you posted aye helped out a whole lot more viewing tonight

I love the 16s on my road king. I am going to put 18s on my CVO

I noticed on the last set of handlebars there was play when you pulled back on them, are you using solid bushings for that setup, and are you planning on doing a T-Bar setup video soon? THANKS FOR SHARING

How do i measure to determine whether i have 1- 7/8 or 1/2 in handlebars? Do you have a video on this?

out of all the bars you showed, which one do you prefer the most and why?

I have 1.5 14" apes on my street glide. They were on it when I bought it and thought thats the first thing I was going to change, but I love them now that I've riden it!

This video answered all but 1 of my questions, I would like upgrade my metric cruisers stock beach handle bars to 14" tall 1" OD apes can you help me?

Greta video. I have 16s I was debating on going with. I think you made my decision

Thanks for the video.

I got 18" ape (including riser) on my street bob & they're preety comfortable to ride & I'm 5.11" tall

I’m looking for apes for my Chief dark horse 14 inch. Any suggestions of bars and location for install let me know. Out of San Antonio.

I love the ape hangers they sell. He has video on how not to pinch wires but sent me damaged kit. They did send me replacement switch and wires but it shouldn't have happened. I do like them and they did fix. My chrome app are very low amount of chrome at the lower bends but not that bad. So I would say great apes just need to work on quality control.

Could you do a video on the 2018 breakout 114 with a range of 10 inch through 16 inch bars?

*hi dumb question here* I have a ‘12 roadglide ultra, how similar is the bar heights / seating to the newer bike shown here ?

I’ve got 13” lucky 13’s on my street bob with stock seat and they are shoulder level and I’m 5’8. But I’m planning on getting a two up saddle men or the sundowner from Harley. So I’ll probably have to go with 18’s on the bar. Because I’ll be sitting higher and closer to the bar.

I just bought a 2024 softail standard very similar to the street bob… I plan on buying a saddlemen seat .. just want to ask , should I just go with 16” apes? Or should I go with 14” apes? … I’m 5’10 and do mostly 200 miles on weekend and some commute to work,gym etc …..

I have 2019 RG Special. I'm 6'1 and 16's are perfect for me while using a lepera streaker solo seat. Alot less cushion on the seat and i sit further back than i would with that crappy stock seat. I also use the lepera maverick 2up daddy long legs for when my ol lady comes with. Great seats for taller guys. You must take into consideration what kind of seat you have as to how high you go with your bars. I wouldn't want 18's on my bike with the style of seats im using.

I’m on an 04 1200r, I’m 5’11 and can’t decide between 10-12. Also the rear end sits on progressives so it’s not slammed and I’m hoping it won’t look stupid with big bars? Any suggestions?

Does anyone know if you need cable extensions with a 10" bar on a 13 steet glide. i like the way that the 10's look

Would 10's wrk w 6' in risers or do I need to change risers?

A very helpful video 👍👍👍👍

Great help. Thanks you 👍🏾

When I installed my 16' bars I remember thinking I wish I'd have went with 17' which I did find. When all said and done with some nice risers and labor, seems like I had right around a thousand bucks in the whole sha-bang. Nothing's cheap these days.

Love my 20s on my 88 evo heritage

Hey brother do something on different TBars sizes shapes n for different rides ,performance n cruise.

Hey thanks for the video I’m a new rider I got a 2001 heritage soft tail I believe my bars are around 10 inches I was wondering, for a new rider if I bumped up to 18 inch bars would that be too much ? My buddies tell me don’t do it my bike looks fine but I just can’t scratch that ape hanger it

I got 2022 Road King Special I am similar height to you at 5’10” What would you recommend for height to get me comfortable?

For a 5’8/5’7 guy what would you recommend like 14 16 right??

I'm thinking about something like these for my bike. My concern is that instead of resting my hands on the grips lightly to control the bike, I'll wind up gripping the bars to hold my arms up and that will affect the inputs. Is that a legit concern or am I over-thinking it?

Would 16 work on road king classic ? I'm 5'11"" tall

Looks good can you put 18" ape hangers on tri glide?

Im about to buy a harley street glide with 14 inch handle bars and im somewhat on a new rider lol should i be nervous? I rode a lot for a short period of time but that was years ago 😅

I’m 5’7 and what size of handlebar should I go for?

Do you need wire extensions for 10’ bars

Thanks

i'm 5'8 how many inches do you refer with road king special?

Is there a reason why the bars are always mounted in what looks like a straight up position? Is there a problem with having them pulled back so you can relax against the back rest? I use to own a Dyna Wide Glide with factory ape hangers, forward controls, and King and Queen seat. I considered that the most comfortable bike I’ve owned. I just bought a 2017 CVO Limited, and the riding position with the Factory 10” bars is uncomfortable. I can’t even get support from the back rest because I’m hunched over. I’m thinking 12” or possibly 14”. I just want to be able to do long pain free rides again like I could easily do on my Dyna.

Can someone please tell me what windscreen is on that road glide please?

Can someone give there input on t bars vs meat hooks

Thx for making my decision harder bro. I want them all. I’m trying decide between 14” or 18”. I have a 2019 street glide. The both look awesome. I had 14” on 09 night train. They were so comfortable. I could ride for hours. I have stock bars right now and my back starts hurting after 1 hour of riding. I would love to know is putting apes on 2019 street glides is something I should attempt by myself. I’m retired army medic that was assigned 1st cav. So I have worked a lot on tanks, track vehicles and strikers. I know not the same. My point is I’m not mechanically challenged.

I have a 2019 road glide and if could show you pictures I would. Your 2019 is still under warranty man. Thats a big decision. It depends on what bars you get. Some bars are difficult as he'll..some are super ez. Look up Fat Baggers Inc. Online. I got the FBI 16" EZ install bars. You dont even need to buy new cables for your bike. They send extensions for your existing cables in the package. Now im not mechanically inclined enough to put them on...but Grizzly HD was able to get those bars on and a TAB Zombie exhaust stage 1 kit installed in one day. Normally bars take a day themselves for a mechanic.

They have 1.25" and 1.5" bars from 12"-16" for 2019 I believe. 1.25" they might have higher. But I didnt dictate the height of my bars as so they don't come over the fairing like most dudes. I went with 16's because I want whats best for the ride.
