| I've never ridden a bike with ape hangers, so I don't understand them, I mean you've got the mini-apes, the regular apes, and the OMG " those must take an orangatang" bars. But today I was sitting at a stop light and two Harleys equipped with them were making a left hand turn in front of me and it dawned on me; The ape hangers let their elbows clear their bellies when making turns. :lol!: My apologies to any Silverwings with ape-hangers. |

| I guess they must me an acquired taste.
I don't see you could ride comfortably for long periods of time with them.
You'd think all the blood would drain out of your hands and forearms
