Just wondering if anyone has put ape-hangers on an XS?? Just saw a bobber pic in another thread that has the stock special bars on it (or at least it looks that way) and thought it might look cool with some 16's or DUB's (I had too....sorry) on it.

Sportbars, Cafe style. Personally, I can't stand ape hangers. -
you mean you can't stand the look or the feel??
I don't really care for either myself, but I'm curious how they'd look on a fine machine like an XS.....maybe that would help?? (the bars...not the XS LOL)'96 Kawasaki ZX11, bought February 5, 2015

I can't see degrading your ability to control your scoot by putting your hands above your shoulders and calling it 'cool 'steering.

Apes
Here in the state of FL it's against the law to have any handlebar that rises above your shoulders. I'd rather have the control of shorter bars.1980G Standard, Restored

Armpit driers have been done. There was a clown round here a few years back that had some on a 79 special. Looked dumb, him and the bike. He couldnt handle it at low speed round town and it kept falling over going round roundabouts.He was too dumb to fiqure out why, and the last time I seen it was on the back of a salvage truck. Cant for the life of me understand what people see in them.1980 SG. (Sold - waiting on replacement)

Ape hangers.... Sheesh.
