I just put 20" apes on my FXDWG 2 months ago and love em. Had the stock 10" before and my hands fell asleep like all bars on all bikes before. I set my throttle lock knob so it just rubs the throttle pipe keeping it in place while I rest my hand in the down position (thereby losing the "pins and needles"). Cons for ape hangers are: loss of peripheral vision (if they are above eyes) and low-speed turns. You have one hand at your face and one far away. Pros: comfy & they have a badass look.
No sweat :thanks for the tip I was wondering about the "no dimples" and if they were bad to slip...I have drag bars sitting on 7 in risers and now I think I'll just keep em lol ! Mike
cery very nice looking bie. and it sounds great. i'd compromise a little bit of power for that kind of look and sound. congratulation. you have done a great job on the bike.
is there a way to hide the brake throttle and clutch cables inside the ape's? those cables seem to mess up the flow of the bike because the rest of it is so sleek and shapely. just my opinion. sweet bike, rock on!
hi man..are all the original cables long enough for these bars or do i need new cables for throttle..clutch.front brake? im looking to fit 12" apes..thanks
yeah man those bars are bad ass;I got the 1200 low 2008 black/crome cause there was no nightsters left in my area,but its still a kick ass bike,and as asked,could u do the same for me?did the brake line need 2 be changed? and the specs. thanks man!!!
I'm thinking about doing the same thing to my nightster. What extra stuff did you have to buy to fit the bars on? I hear you have to get longer brake cables or somthing. Bike looks great.
I love the bike. I am looking at buying one soon. How much for the forward controls and apes?. What did u purchase the bike for if I may ask? Again, awesome bike!
I'm building my Bobber as we speak. Tried like crazy to get the look I want with the stock frame (slammer shocks...ect) and have come to the conclusion that I need to go with a hard tail frame and get that, much lower/stretched look. Just wondering if you're thinking along the same lines?
Hi Mate. What's the go with bored out exhaust? You have to do any engine mods? Is it straight forward? I just want mine to sound mad but don't want to spend a shit load.Thanks bro.
Wow! Nice job. It looks like the mods are relatively cheap as well. I really dig the apes and the exhaust. Where did you get the apes and what kind of exhaust are you running?
i just took a 1 inch drill to the baffle plug at the end of the exhaust. sounds better and runs good too. i have new exhaust will post a vid soon of new exhaust and intake
Hey what size apes are those. I like them a lot. I have the stock mini 10's on my 72 and I'm 6'2, tall and lanky. I need to be stretched just a tad bit more. Thanks nice bike
Hey man how tall are you I'm thinking about getting a nightster they're badass but I'm 6'4'' 205 and I'm thinking I might look like a bear on a tricycle
@gretschsounds yea pretty much. i have since changed the bike if you check my other videos. I do all my own work including paint and chopping. the bike is about to go through major surgery with a weld on hardtail, going 6 up and 0 out with a sugar bear front end. stay tuned dick face
To each their own I guess. Why anyone would willingly sacrifice shocks for a rigid rear end is beyond me. Making it less than street legal by removing turn signals altogether is also a head scratcher.
Lol I know this is a year later but you should go look at that Jimmy guy's channel. All he does is go on videos of sportsters and talk about how good jap bikes are. I got into an argument on another sportster video and then clicked on yours, only to his his trash talking here too. So basically he's been doing this for over a year, very sad.
@MrJimmy1437 well you really want to let me know how much you hate harley riders. I ride all types of bikes and I bought this bike when I was in Iraq and have rode it all over north america. if you dont believe me send me your email and I will give you my ride report from Alaska to Oklahoma and all the other rides I have done. I do not bash on any one who rides because I love to ride and have love for people who do to. So you can continue to rant on here or suck it up and go do something else.

those cables seem to mess up the flow of the bike because the rest of it is so sleek and shapely.
just my opinion.
sweet bike, rock on!
Nice looking Sporty!
Did you have to change the cables, and brake line?
did you have to get an extension kit for you lines
Oh HELLS YES!!!!! Is that stock pipes? Sounds AWESOME!!!!
hi man..are all the original cables long enough for these bars or do i need new cables for throttle..clutch.front brake? im looking to fit 12" apes..thanks
really nice one..nightster is a very nice harley...the only thing i might say it doesnt fit in my opinion..would be the seat..bit too wide aint it?
nice bike. how is it with a passenger on back? or can you even have one?
yeah man those bars are bad ass;I got the 1200 low 2008 black/crome cause there was no nightsters left in my area,but its still a kick ass bike,and as asked,could u do the same for me?did the brake line need 2 be changed? and the specs. thanks man!!!

RSD (Roland Sands) Vintage 12" mini apes
Do the front turn signals unplug or do you have to cut the wires
hey nice bike! where do you buy the ape bars...do had a sportster also,,,,thanks buddy
true. i have some torque cones but your right i lost most of my bottom end
You got a bolt on hard tail right.
How does it handle compared to stock
Looks real good.
Nice ride man!
you should side mount that speedometer! It'll clean it up nice.
Dude, whats the size of the handle bars? i am thinking between the 12" and the 16"
Nice bike man!
I'm thinking about doing the same thing to my nightster. What extra stuff did you have to buy to fit the bars on? I hear you have to get longer brake cables or somthing.
Bike looks great.
nice bike, will it look better with a springer solo seat?
Roland Sands bars nice
are they comfortable ?
who makes those bars? I digg those bad lads
Did you have to get new cables for your apes to work? Or were you able to reuse the stock cables?
@sinvalley84 the bars are 12 inch by 1 inch
What size and brand bars are those?
I love the bike. I am looking at buying one soon. How much for the forward controls and apes?. What did u purchase the bike for if I may ask? Again, awesome bike!

whats the length on them struts?
Thats a perfect bike
Well, I'm jealous. Nice bike.

What Bars are those bro?
nightsters are cool bikes they remind me of a bull dog with a thick neck and chest
little butt with plenty to roar about. GO Harley!!
it is a rigid. springer seat soon to come
What u used rear suspension
When you ride on the highway speeds do u feel the wind more with the apes and if so what technique do u use when riding at high speeds with apes?
cant remember the cables but i extend the wiring 8 inshes with a soldering gun
Very Nice !
i just took a 1 inch drill to the baffle plug at the end of the exhaust. sounds better and runs good too. i have new exhaust will post a vid soon of new exhaust and intake
i think that is one sexy beast, are those Carlini bars?
Such a gr8 bike 👌🤘
What's the seat!! I would love to get it.
Is there any mod to add a passanger seat??
what did it cost to get the foward controls?

Nice lookin ride, boy :) Ride safe....

Everything looks great but you need a smaller less poofy seat imo.
