There is a thin line separating creativity from insanity.

The ones that are like eye-level or maybe a little above the rider's head I can see being a personal preference comfort wise. The ones that have the rider's arms practically straight up in the air though, never mind if they are comfortable are not, I wonder how well can you control the bike like that?

Idk how half these guys ride how they have their bikes set up. I guess they just don’t turn, that’s the only answer.

Anything above the shoulder defeats the original point of ape hangers. When American GIs came home from WW2 they modified surplus Harley's to be more comfortable on long highway runs. One of the ways they accomplished this was by making the reach straight forward and seating lower. A lot of these seemingly pointless mods often have an overlooked history and practical application.

If you can't handle tall apes, shut up. I have had tall apes for 40+ years and they are great! Best handlebar made. Ever wonder why they are the biggest selling handlebar?

When the cop pulls them over they already have their hands up. Great idea.
