      Ape Hanger Motorcycle Handlebars FAQ

      Are ape hangers comfortable?
      Ape hangers can be comfortable for some riders, particularly at lower speeds where close hand/eye coordination is beneficial. However, handlebars set above heart level may cause fatigue in the hands over long distances, requiring riders to drop their hands periodically to restore circulation.
      Are ape hangers illegal?
      The legality of ape hangers varies by state in the U.S. Historically, high-set ape hangers were banned in 30 states during the 1960s, primarily for safety concerns. Currently, many states have repealed such restrictions like New Mexico and North Carolina, while others still impose limits on handlebar height such as Alabama, Texas, Michigan, Alaska, and Florida, allow ape hangers that are at least 15 inches above the seat height.
      What size ape hangers should I get?
      Choosing the right size for ape hangers depends on personal preference and riding style. Most riders opt for ape hangers between 12 to 16 inches. Generally, handlebars should be at or below shoulder height to avoid discomfort and comply with legal restrictions in many areas. Riders are often advised to test different heights to find what feels most comfortable.
      Do ape hangers affect handling?
      Yes, ape hangers can affect handling. While they may provide stability at high speeds due to a raked-out fork design, they can also lead to increased fork and handlebar flex, which might compromise precision steering. Additionally, higher handlebars can make maneuvering more challenging at low speeds.
      How to measure ape hanger handlebars?
      To measure ape hanger handlebars, start from the center of the handlebar mount and measure straight up to the highest point of the grip. Ensure that this measurement complies with local laws regarding handlebar height. It’s also important to consider comfort and reach when selecting a size.
