Mini apes

txtimberwolf · 04-23-2011, 11:40 AM

I have seen someone on here that has a set of mini apes on their Nomad. I was wondering what size they were and if you had to change the stock wiring?

I think you are probably talking about Jim [oldbikers]. He changed to these when installing the reckless fairing.

That is who I was thinking also. You could probably PM Oldbikers and he will let you know.

Where have you been lately? Haven't seen you on the forum in a while.

Pablo also has them on his bike. I don't think they changed anything other than the bars themselves.

That is correct I put mine on when I put the fairing on they are 13" and the only thing I did was move the front break line from the front of the triple tree to the back.

old biker Are they much higher than stock bars on 4in risers They look good!

oldbikers · 04-24-2011, 09:22 AM

Mike if I remember right the stock bars have a 8" rise with 4" risers would give you about 12" and mine are 13"

Jim with your fairing your apes look really good. Nice picture.

Don't forget that you still have to use some sort of riser. The stock risers are around 2", so it's more like going from a 12" rise to a 15" rise.

You have a point there utah but I have mine leaned back so they are not much different than when I had the 4" risers.

Jim, I know this is a old thread, but where did you get these bars at?
