I have seen some pictures on Ape Hangers on Triumph America and am interested in this for my bike; just have some open questions as I research this further:

•Do the ape hangers limit the maneuverability of the bike, especially while turning?
•Are these more comfortable for long rides?
•Does anyone know of a vendor/ bike shop that sells these for Triumphs?
•Is the installation a cumbersome project with complete wiring etc?

Thanks



1. Not after you get used to it.

2. Very comfortable, especially if you have a bad back.

3. Measure the diameter of the stock bars, I think they are 1 inch, but check to be sure. At any rate, they are a standard size and you can get about anything that you like from sich places as Drag Specialties or Custom Chrome.

4. The wiring will have to be extended. While you are at it, might as well run the wires inside the bars for a really clean look.
The throttle and clutch cables will have to be longer. You can get custom made cables to fit anything you like at Barnetts. (The one that makes clutches and such, not the one that sells custom painted Harleys to RUBs for rediculous prices)
The brake plumbing is a standard metric size. If there are any shops near you that do custom metric bikes, you should be able to get some help there.
