I just bought a 2005 1200C Sportster that have 12” Fat Apes on it and love them. I just can’t decide what angle to have them yet. They’re basically level vertically with the ground and it’s comfortable to ride & turn, but I dunno if it looks good not being even with the forks either. I also overpaid for it too. Lol. Can’t get a good deal at almost any Harley-Davidson stores.
Hey, Andrew! This is weird, I never thought to find my bike on the internet! I own this bike now, in Mexico. First I think: "it's very familiar this bike", but I saw the title and it's your name, so, its the same. It's in good hands!
All the work was done by a Custom Bike shop in town. I'm not sure what type of saw they used, but you can check this forum post for all the instructions to do it yourself: xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/showthread.php?t=369676&highlight=cut+custom+riser
So ive got the same bike and wanting the same bars...been looking up the riser mod but cant find anything on it...so my question is did you just cut 2 inches off the bottom with a band saw??
I have the identical sportster. I am thinking of removing the "Handlebar riser". It doesn't look good to me. Did you cut the riser in half ? It looks preety good.
Bike looks good. What bags are those? Been looking for some leather throw over bags that will fit on my 1200 without me having to relocate my tail lights
Super Radd These bars will fit without any mods to the riser. I had the riser shaved down purely for looks. Apes on a 6 inch riser just doesn't look right imo.
i just got a set of 14" chrome bars like them but am having trouble figuring out the cable kit i need what size cable kit did you get or could you tell me what length your cables are?
The description said it's the stock one, he just cut 2 inches off of it. Which is interesting considering I've been wondering whether to keep it or replace it, but cutting it down works too!
Finding pics of sportsters with apes is super rare, great video thankyou sir
BOOM! You just solved my riser problem thanks!
Did he cut the riser in trying to make sense of this?
Nice !! Bro you look like Eminem riding a Sporster 💯
That's nice size was looking at 16inches but looking at that 14inches looks perfect thanks guys for sharing

@@metalsamurai03 why did you sell then?
What type of shop did you take the riser to to have it cut down 2 inches? And how was it done?
Did you get the answer? I need to do this.
@@janapadilla7121 nah forget that, I did not do it cause of no answer it’s not worth it to me

Sorry,I see;

Great video.

Sweet ride!
Is handlebars 1.5 inch thick ?
Did you have to shave the stock riser for those to fit? Or just for looks?

ilive2thaextreme Sorry, don't know cable length. I had a custom builder order cables and do the work.

Looks good. What's the setup with the riser and speedo? Looks like the stock one cut down. Looking to do something similar.
