Re: Ape hangers on a Road King
Simple answer: YES. IMHO apes are made for looks/attitude, not comfort. Especially if they are above your shoulders.

Re: Ape hangers on a Road King
I have a wide glide with 16" apes with 2" riser's. Just did a trip to Eureka Cal. from San Antonio. Arms never got tired or being uncomfortable. Love them. Paid 600.00 for apes prewired with controls & SS braided cables and lines. Installed them myself. Saved over 1000.00$ by not letting the dealer do it.

Re: Ape hangers on a Road King
nope. the key is to get ones that keep your hands lower than your heart, any higher and the blood stop and your hands go to sleep, and I hate when that happens. hands that go to sleep during the day are up all night.
