How to Measure for Custom Bars

 This is how we measure our custom bars to if your bike
                        
                                                                     RISERS SPACING
                                               We will need the center to center of the risers 
                                                                    Harley:  3 1/2" ctc 
                                                                     VTX:   5 1/8"  ctc
                                                                    Victory: 4 7/8' ctc
                                               Also need the outside measurement of risers

                        
                                                                          APE HANGERS
                          1) Hold stick in hands over bike where you want your bars to be.
                               Then measure from the stick down to the risers that will be your
                                height or rise.
                          2) You still have the stick in your hands. How measure from your
                               ring finger to ring finger. That will be your width of your bars.
                          3) Most of the apes we make have 5" of pull back in them .
                          4) We will go over the bars with you to ensure the proper fit.

                         
                                                                       APES SIDE VIEW

                        
                                                BARS THAT HAVE A LOT OF PULL BACK
                          1)  Chopper bars , Daggers , Z bars , V Bars,       ( NO APES )


                         


                         
                            1) Hold your stick over your bike where you want your hands
                                to be when the bars are done and on your bike.
                            2) We will need to know the rake of the triple tree and neck of
                                 your bike that the bars are going on.
                            3) You will need help to measure up your bars .
                            4) Put the end of your level at  a riser hole in your triple tree.
                                 The other end will be near you and your stick.
                            5) How measure from the stick down to the bottom of the level.
                                This will be the rise you will need in your new bars .
                            6) How where you measured down to the level at that point
                                 measure to the riser hole. This will be the pull back in your bars .
                            7) Measure from your ring finger to ring finger for the width of your bars.
                            8) WE will go over the bars you to ensure the proper fit .
