Apes no more

[Hooty]

Got bored today and decided to cut up those apes and see what I could do with them. Here's what I came up with.....not gonna run em after I got them mounted, definately gonna stick with the Chumps!

Turned some stainless slugs, pressed em in and welded. Yes you can use stainless as long as you use stainless filler rod, we build high pressure air manifolds and this is the same technique we use on them...manifolds are mild steel and the weldolets (low rise couplings) are stainless....sorry back to the pics.



Fixture for setting the pullback.



Welded up



It looks like a cute & fuzzy bunny rabbit..LOL





They might look alright on a narrow front or even a springer, but not on that wide front end.....gonna hafta send em to the relocation box in the attic.

Well is it just me or does anyone else think they look not bad at all?? Nice work as usual.

I like em. I prefer lower bars over apes bout any day though.

Actually I like apes but there is nothing wrong with the way they look and they look like they would be very comfortable.

PS - Are there a lot of accidents in your neighborhood Hooty cause all the stop signs seem to be hanging in your garage?

I used to have a "Neighborhood Crime Watch" sign, but some jackass stole it!

Damn, son!

I liked the apes... but you won't get arrested now you got 'em out of the stratosphere!

I agree they aren't quite right.....personally I like comfort and find z-bars work everywhere, especially with alot of pullback but modest rise....whatcha think? mock up a pair you might like em and the look says ol'skool for sure
