I've been assured that it is a more comfortable riding position when in the OBGYN position. I don't buy it, but that is what I'm told.

 They're great for putting the criminal riders that use them into the "hands up, don't shoot" posture. |

It is for looks, which is also the entire point of their choice of motorcycle in the first place.

My brother-in-law has a Sportster with hangers on it.
It's not even remotely comfortable and the mirrors are nearly useless. So I don't know why, other than for looks. Edit: every time I ask him to go on a ride, he always says he's still dealing with an oil leak

Ape hangers.
Pants down below the ass. Affliction T-shirts. Larue Hats. All minor variations of peas from the same pod. |

Cured the neck and shoulder pain I had with heritage bars in my 09 RK. 17" Carlini's were perfect. Did 750 miles in 1 day and had no pain. YMMV

Depends on the height. Med or lower height apes can be very comfortable.

Depending on rider and how they are set up is more comfortable then any other type of bar. |

I have a picture of me next to that bike, somewhere. He came into Denney's HD in Springfield, MO, when I worked there, so that would have been something like 2000-2004. Considering the MODOT sign in the background of the other pic, he's regional to the area. The bike was parked and I was standing next to it and the handlebars were over my head. I'm 6'2". I'm so glad I didn't have to push that thing onto a lift, not that our ceiling was tall enough to lift it much. And people run ape hangers because it's like power steering for motorcycles. |

So you think those people are somehow lesser than you are?
Post a picture if yourself, and your ride OP. Let us do the Christian thing, and judge you. I'd chastise your typical brodozer moron with oversized tires a lot easier than an jdiot with ape hangers. Brodozer boy is just suffering from soy ingestion, has a small penis, was picked on as a boy, is hen pecked at home, probably cucked, and has to answer his boss with yes sir or maam at every turn. ...but on the road, that sumbitch has authority! Anyways, I digress. I find the high ape hangers ridiculous, the shoulder height are perfect, and quite comfortable. Still though, there's no accounting for taste. Some people like no beans in their chili, some people like to ride their giant brodozers, some people like canned peas. Hell some people even like Korean beam sauce

I think OP is referring to handlebars that have your hands and arms above shoulder level. That is the way I know most people I know define it in their minds. Bars that are high, but have the arms level or lower than shoulder level; I don't call them ape hangers, just high or raised bars. The whole reason for the term is that the user looks like an ape.....hanging from a branch.... Racist, I tell you,....racist....
