Wanted to know if anyone has the Ape Hangers, seriously thinking about doing it. Thanks
Don't use the risers that come with the Triumph high bars just use the stock risersI have stayed away from ape hangers because they went straight up. That just didn't look right to me. Yours look great!
Hey Roy! Your bike looks wicked. Wondering what the hard cargo setup you have going is?? Cheers and thanks, ColeI have the Triumph 'mini-apes' but had them altered to better accommodate my comfort/riding style. They are wider by a total of 2" and the grip angle is not so acute. Cheerio, Roy P.s. The second photo shows the standard bars at bottom. The last photo is when I first fitted them, so excuse the cables not being attached.

Here you go I'm 6'3" they make the ride so much more comfortable.Would love to see pics of someone sitting or riding with them -- not clear what the position is.
I used the stock bar clamps just tight them down as tight as I could haven't moved at all.I need to do this to mine. I think @Roy did this too. Can either of you give a quick tutorial on how to go about dealing with the pin issue? Is it just a matter of removing the bar clamp, grinding off the pins and reinstalling the bars at whatever angle I want, or are the pins not on the bars, so new holes for the pins need to be drilled at the preferred angle?
Cheers, thanks RoyHi,
Thanks for that @cole.peebles

Retro Panniers (aka Hard-Bags) - Take Two..!
Recap; last year I fitted some panniers to my Bobber utilizing some modified Triumph brackets. As a proof of concept, it worked well. I enjoyed the practicality of having luggage and found that my ‘Bobber Bagger’ was great for short impromptu camping trips. I also liked the look as the...www.triumphbobberforum.com

2) if anyone interested in trading their stock bars for brand new ape hangers that I have
This is on 2022 Triumph Bobber. Photos to follow if there is interest. Thanks
I need to pick your brain a bit... I did the same with my bobber... i installed TC Bros 16" Apes and when it comes to the clutch cable its a tricky thing.. Barnett Clutches & Cables will make my custom longer clutch cable but if i am not correct on the measurement i lose the money...so i made a thiggamagig to extend the clutch cable...
Barnett Clutches and Cables makes the custom clutch cable but i made my own extension piece...Where did you get the cable and wire extensions. I found most on BAAK. But no wiring.
