I'm starting a bsr and going for a harley theme, anyone put tall ape hangers on one? I'm not racing it, just bar hoping.

towman, The 2nd BSR I built , I put ape hangers on it . They were short, only 10" of rise, but looked so cool. I take my BSR'S to Car Shows, people spend more time looking at the racers than the car's. I'm looking for another set for my next racer, maybe 14"or16" rise.I think they look good and are comfortable. Post some pic's if you build it .If I can find some pic's of my old racer I will post them! Snakester:lush:

I had a set on my second bsr which is now my girlfriends. w2hat an absolute nightmare to ride. If you just cruising and piddling around there fine. Even on a straightaway wide open it became very violent and hard to control. I have 2 sets of demolished nerf bars to prove it LOL. Maybe you guys will have better luck with them

This is how apes look on a bsr...... Does nothing for the handeling ... I had a bit of a roll with mine on the weekend , hit a pothole and that wat that , it'll take some time to get it done but not all that bad , just some minor dings and a bent front axle mount
