Ape Hangers for 06 Nomad 1600

firemedic191 · 05-20-2012, 04:01 PM

Trying to find a set of Ape Hangers around 13 inches tall for my Nomad. Do not want to have to change cables. Prefer Black but Chrome if I must nothing fancy or expensive just need to aleviate some shoulder neck and back pain. Looking for a Brand name or place to go to order them and any advice anyone has about them. Thank you for your help.

11" Santee Dresser Bars are what I put on mine a few months back. I love them!

Nice Bars Jared !
However , apehangers don't work for me, my right hand goes too sleep to easily. I tried a set on a buddy's HD Heritage Softatail and my hand was numb within 5 min.

This is a very old thread... Jared has shut his Utahmotorcyclist website down. Click here to see his YouTube videos.

Jared sold that bike long ago, and it's been on-sold again I believe.

I don't have the link but this is a link to where I put some apes on my Honda Shadow. Hope it helps.

I did the same to my '06 Nomad but never posted it on my web site but do have pictures. If you'd like some, pm me. I'll send you them.

TC, I just did this and got all my info from Jared. You don't have to change any of the cabling. In fact the cabling seems to fit perfectly. The clutch hose is just fine, but the brake hose willneed to be re-routed behiond the tripple tree.

So in otherwords, none of the cables/hoses need to be replaced. Only the brake line needs to be re-routed.

These are 12" with stock risers on my 01, just for height reference. Keep in mine, I'm 6'6"

I'm putting a set on a 02 1500 and I found the grips hang off the bar ends well over an inch not sure how I'm going to deal with that issue and with the 1500 all my cables are too short
