I'm 5 foot 5 myself thanks for making the video looking to change out my stock handlebars for my Iron 883 I think I'm going to look for 8 - 10 inch Apes hangers whenever I have time I'm going to have a friend measure to help me decide but again thanks making a video for us short Riders got yourself a new sub!

Great video man. I have an Iron 883 that I’m putting 12s on because I cannot stand the stock bars. The bars are being shipped and the wait is killing me.

You won’t need any kit for the cables… Sportsters can handle up to 12” bars with doing anything to the throttle or brake cables

You can pull them back to where your comfortable. They don't have to be pushed so far forward.

I just wanted to comment on your comment in regards to the bike wobbling when in corners at higher speeds. I had a nightster as well and it did it all the time, I’ve had a 48 after that , it never did it. I don’t know about any of the 883 irons or any of that but the nightster? For sure!

@JoshRaySpot 2 жыл бұрын

Prolly the smaller tires. The 48s have fat tires. And the ape hangers don't help either

Those are pretty tall, def higher than 12"... plus they're mounted on 2" risers!

I have a 98 1200 sportster with 4 1/2" in riders and 16" apes but I'm 5'11" tall. Yea my hands do go to sleep from time to time. But it ain't to bad at all. I've only had the bike for about 3 months now but is getting tore down this winter and getting a fat boy rear fender. I forgot to mention I have a Springer front end with no fender but itll get a fender this winter. Is getting a new crome primary cover. Its getting a double game tank on it. Its just go a peanut tank unit right now. It as white wall tires bt those are coming off and getting plain black tires. The white walls are to hard to keep clean with how much I ride it. It plum crazy purple right now but itll be copperhead pearl over the winter. So it's a great bike but I need to customize it the way i want it. I'll probably change the style of apes also but I'm keeping the same size. This is my old lady's KZfaq channel and that's why it says melissa Kelley. My name is frank Maxfield. You can look me up on facebook to see pics of my bike. I'm in ohio so that will make it easier to find me.

9" hangers if that is what you are referring to sounds like the perfect height

Those bars are the right height just way to wide… These bikes can handle up to 12” bars without any KIT nothing needs done but removing the grips, controls and the old bar and putting the new one in and bolting the controls and grips back on.

Are you sure the ''12 ape hanger doesn't need cable extender kit? I own a XL883 from 2004 and just ordered ''12 ape hangers with the Burly cable kit ''12 for 280 dollars...
