Ape Hangers On Softail
The Nearly Extinct Indonesian Grease MonkeyThere is no better way to get yourself out in the breeze than a set of Ape Hangers, as Donna recently wrote all about: What You Need to Know About Ape Hangers. For some riders the sky is the limit when it comes to how high they want to go. You rarely see these guys cruising down the road with their monster 36' tall apes, but you sure so see them posing at bike night and trying to look cool on them at bike shows. We dug around on the internet to find as many examples of these ridiculously tall apes, and the simians who try to ride them. At the very least, this ought to be good for a laugh, or maybe a laugh and a half. I will warn you now, not all of these will be Harley-Davidsons.
What the Ape!Yeah, so sue me, these are not ape hangers, but what the hell are they? Both of these bikes seem like the sort of thing that an alien would build if it only had a long bike with ape hangers described to him by an abducted biker. The first bike combines an ultra extended front end with a close to stock rake, then just stretches the frame to meet the top of the fork. There was no choice but to use handlebars this long in order to reach.
Kits are available for most ABS and non-ABS Harley-Davidson® motorcycles with 12” to 20” ape hanger style handlebars and Sportsters with drag bars or ape hangers installed. Europe Q4 2008 MN65 Map Zip. Kits include throttle and idle cables or throttle-by-wire extensions, clutch cable or hydraulic clutch line, brake lines, copper crush washers,.

There is no explaining the second bike, unless there was some sort of contest for longest bars, and he was trying to win on technicality. It is hard to imagine how he can steer that while laying back in a gangster lean against the sissy bar like that.
Ape Hanger JimmyIf you spend any time on the internet looking at motorcycles, you've seen Ape Hanger Jimmy and his bike. He rides it around to shows, on the freeway, too, and you can see how crazy it is on YouTube with just a quick search. He became a bit of a viral celebrity when some cager shot a cell phone video of him a few years ago.
Jimmy is out there fighting the good fight for your right to get as high as you wanna with your bars. He's also nice enough to occasionally let other people sit on his bike to take pictures, though you may need to wear a bikini. Pedal Power ApesToo young for a license? You can still rock a tall set of Ape Hangers no matter what you ride.
This little dude is still growing into his first set, but he already looks badass. Tricycle dud looks as cool as it is humanly possible to look, while riding an adult sized tricycle.
And no worrying about Johnny Law when riding your Ape bike, there are few if any laws governing what you can do to a bicycle, as long as you don't add a motor. Triumph of the ApesUnfortunately, there are very few pictures of this Triumph chop that I can find on the internet. If anyone has a link to a build thread of gallery, I'd love to see it in the comments section. This bike has got to have home built Ape Hangers.
They go up a long way, so far in fact that they have to angle back down toward the rider about a foot to be within reach. But, as extreme as these are, the guy seems to ride it around, so more power to him. He may be over compensating for something though. Adjustable Height Ape HangersThese seem like they would be a good idea, 50 State Apes were designed to allow the height to adjust in just minutes. You can watch the video I pulled the pictures from on YouTube here, but forget trying to buy a set, the website is MIA. I suppose as well thought out as this was, there just is not a market that worries about whether 20' or 12' apes are legal in this particular jurisdiction. Too bad though, as I imagine the adjustable height and angle would be welcome on long trips, no matter what the law in your state prescribes.
Perhaps the inventor could not make them solid and dependable to not worry about product liability? Lady ApesThe problem with women and ape hangers is that they typically have smaller frames and shorter arms, so even a 20' Ape Hanger, which is on the high side of okay for a 6' tall man, looks crazy. The tattooed lady on the purple bike has a 112-18' ape, on top of a 6' riser, which has her reaching for the sky. If you are building your lady a bike, or if you are a woman, don't just listen to the advice of the guys. Hopefully the poor woman on the black and white bike isn't going far, because it seems she can barely reach the bars, and has little control on the foot pegs with those heals. Apes on TourIt is hard to image how this rider got to where he is.
Obviously there was a lot of work put into making this Suzuki cruiser into a touring bike, with luggage, stereo, and windscreen. But then why or how did the handle bars get all the way up there? Perhaps he has a medical condition that makes it hard to put his arms down to his sides? I would be much more comfortable on a bike like this with my hands down about 6' lower, about where he has his GPS unit clamped on. Ape Hanger Jimmy's Little Brother?This guy must have seen the bars on Ape Hanger Jimmy's bike and said, me too! Or, it is possible that this is another of Ape Hanger Jimmy's bikes? Who knows, but it does seem to have the same 36' (approximate) Ape Hangers on it.
The strangest thing about this bike is that it is relatively conservative otherwise, a simple, minimal, stripped down hard tail, with a long sissy bar, and a set of super tall apes. Apes Far and WideHaving a set of high Ape Hangers was not enough for this dude, he needed them to be wide as well. Perhaps he thought the width of the bars would draw attention away from his own width? These appear to be about 24' high and 48' across, which would make it kind of hard to split lanes in traffic.
Apes of the 3rd WorldThese two riders may be on a Honda in Africa, but they certainly aspire to a big Harley-Davidson chopper eventually. Where do you even find a set of Ape Hangers in a place where it must be hard to find ordinary gas, tires, and batteries for a bike. Wouldn't an air cooled dual sport single be more sensible? Like a Honda XR250 or XR500? Apes on ScootersWhat is this?
I can't even. The Japanese scooter may have the tallest ape hangers of any bike I've ever seen, so tall you have to stand up to ride. Suzuki GSXR1000 ApeThis is a good way to ruin a perfectly fine sport bike, and piss off the cruiser faithful, too.
It looks like he's made highway pegs on the stunt cages up front, but has yet to actually add forward controls. I can only imagine how weird rearsets and Ape Hangers must be to ride with. This must be the only Ape Hanger equipped sport bike, right? Ape Bandit and Triumph TripleNope, this Triumph Speed Triple and Suzuki Bandit also have fallen in with a bad crowd and gotten a set of Ape Hangers installed. The Bandit has also gotten a sissy bar, hard luggage and a luggage rack, so it may just have rolled through the Tucker Rocky warehouse and gotten some parts stuck to it. It actually wouldn't be too bad for a sport touring cruiser if you were to take off the fairing and put on a big round headlight, or maybe a batwing fairing. The Triumph is really beyond hope.
It is possible that it is in the beginning stages of a Bosozoku conversion, in which case it is tame compared to what it will end up looking like. Join the ape hanger conversation right here in HD Forums!
