maybe I should have said apes kick ******.....the further you move the handlebars upward, the more sensitive they are to input. Thats why as dog said above the guy's he knows go thru the twisties pretty hard with them.
Sorry Sheldon, but your logic is a might flawed here. The farther you move your handlebars upward the LESS sensitive your tire is to your input. Why do you think racing motorcycles and sportbikes have clip-on handlebars?
And one day, when I'm in PA visiting my friend Ian, I hope I have my '02 BA with me, which still has the OEM bars on it and which have always reminded me a bit of Flander's flattrack handlebars(in my estimation, still the best lookin' and most comfortable handlebars ever invented for a motorcycle), AND I'd surely like to witness anyone of these "expert" H-D riders with apehanger pass my a$$ mid-turn on some twisty mountain road.(which BTW, ain't never gonna happen...just ask anybody who came to the Southwest Triumph Fest last May)
(and BTW, that's with those LOUSY stock rear shocks that have absolutely no REBOUND adjustment still unfortunately attached to the back of my BA....BOING BOING, WALLOW WALLOW)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
