How To Make Your Ape Hangers On Your Harley Davidson Look "finished!"

Make your ape hangers on your‪@harleydavidson‬look "finished!" The day the Fairing Exchange put my ‪@kstkustoms1324‬ 18" bars on my Road Glide they showed me something on one of their bikes I had to have. Proper, metal cable clamps that would keep your bike looking organized and proper. I hunted down some from ‪@HillCountryCustomCycles‬ on Amazon, and I freaking love these!
Here is the link, they're only $20! amzn.to/3GzLrOF

A masterclass in making a 2 minute video stretch to 10 minutes. 😂

[@a.r.o7697]

Shadetree Surgeon is the master of talking about nothing and making content out of anything.

[@ProfessionalMonkey]

It’s a talent…

[@kawicrazed400]

More than fine with me, i repeat listen to all of the video’s because his voice sounds like friggin angels.

[@wooba]

[@2kanchoo]

Usually I hate it too but with monkey I like it. It makes it like having a chat in the garage with a buddy.

[@blownmouse]

Love these clamps. Use them on my 95 Fatboy. They work good on the front left frame down tube to replace the factory clutch cable clamp. And I use the double clamp for the throttle and idle. Your bars look awesome.

[@goma503]

Hill Country Customs is a really good company. I ran some of thier bars prewired on the old RK I had. I was very pleased with the bars and the service they provided.

[@imowlow8919]

Crazy how fast you knew 1 1/2". hahaha.... Hill Country Cycles is legit. Nice addition. Do a tuner with Blockhead. That would be a fun collaboration video. Cheers

[@boba2389]

I've gotten those clamps in different sizes for a variety of applications from V Twin manufacturing going back a least 15 years.

[@justin.s9783]

the new parts look cool. i missed you 2 not being on the live streams and all. 😞. lol its fine, glad you back. good vid

[@ProfessionalMonkey]

Thanks 👍

[@neildewitt2869]

I ordered something and got those in stead of what I ordered. Now I know what I can use them for but I'm not changing bars so probably will sell them. Thanks for this video! Don't let the jealousy bother you. Yes we all would like to get stuff from companies but reality says it's not going to happen so enjoy and don't let tge bitching get to you!

[@txman80]

Yep. I got those when I put bigger bars on my 98 RK. It looks cleaner and holds the cables in place. I got a set of 3 for $30-40

[@elvispusley3515]

Make seal driver out of PVC, cheaper and works good. Done a lot of forks with them.

[@sarge29477]

Welcome back. Glad you made it home safely. We were starting to get a little bit worried with the lack of content. Thank you for the update.

[@hhplymouth9473]

I really like the green paint. I can not say how autotune compares to a tuner. I had my power commander go bad. It was replaced and the bike was tuned. The a little over a year later I had the bike dyno tuned again. I was trying to get more MPG out of it. The bike was running at a 12 to 1 air fuel ratio. They leaned it out to 13 to 1 air fuel ratio at full throttle. I gained 7hp and 8lbft of torque. Unfortunately I only gained about 1MPG on average. The tune cost me $360. The biggest surprise to me is the only place I found near me to get my bike dynotuned was the Harley Davidson dealer. Why I was shocked is because it is a Honda VTX1800R. With all the talk of Harley dealers not working on older Harleys. This one worked on a Honda.

[@vernmoore7710]

Welcome back to the land of the big BX, GI. And you hit the ground running with a video about something we can all use. Good job, even if you are so jet lagged you won't remember doing this video. Hope to see you two do a live soon, hopefully while I can catch it and not while I'm driving back from Daytona. It's lonely round here with just cows at Cackleberry for company.

[@RyanTaylor1223]

Those clamps have been around forever. I have them on my 2001 Deuce

[@tommiller8714]

Welcome back Brother! Hope you rebound quickly from jet-lag. Nice, functional & inexpensive cable clamps for managing cable alignment, sway, etc. with tall bars & longer cables. Looking forward to the Radioactive Green build...looks freaking awesome. Also, looking forward to your Tuning Videos (Dynojet Power Vision PV3b, '21 and newer HD). I ran same tuner (base map from fuel moto) on my '21 RGS 114 Stage-2 (S&S 465 cam, S&S 2-1 Sidewinder, FM/K&N 3956 air cleaner) w/stock OE narrowband O2 sensors and it worked really well. For my '23 RG-ST (Stage-1 right now...S&S 2-1 Sidewinder and HD-SE Extreme Ventilator air cleaner, I plan to run same Tuner (PV3b) but also run Dynojet TT-8 18mm wideband O2 sensors. Again, welcome back!

[@whiskeybentleyandhellbound73]

I like those a bunch. When I finally get around to new bars later this year, these are a must.

[@datkinso30]

Sorry I missed you & the Mrs in Daytona last month - hopefully BW & I will see ya in Leesburg later this month? I got the same KST 18" bars for my 15 RK (BLK Spearheads) - Best "visible" UPGRADE thus far! Thx for the advice on the HCC Cable Line Clamp - will look to use on the FLHTK. Keep on Keeping on - See ya soon... 🤔

[@rondemary8403]

Glad ur home ! Jet lag is a bitch!! I was starting to have withdraws from not seeing your recent videos ..😂

hey, im new to your channel and new to riding, just got my provisional licence here in the uk. you inspired me to start my biking journey and i will forever be grateful. Thank you

[@frankfurther3828]

Good looking bracket. Welcome home.

[@theworldofjohn1972]

I've had all these on my bike since 07' great products and great way to clean up long cables!!

[@dorothytipton1974]

Hill country has some nice parts I like there handle bar clamp

[@clintonsturn1303]

Totally agree! Put a set on my Street Glide and it really cleans up my 14" KST's

[@BustedKnuckleMotorcycle]

Ive had this idea in my head for a few years. Glad someone makes it

Nice now let's get them green parts installed 😊

[@stephencravens1820]

Hill Country Customs is in my home town. Bought my full bars setup from them a few years ago. Good company.

[@ProfessionalMonkey]

Right on

[@vincepombo6224]

I put those on my RK, really adds that little extra to it.

[@RidingintheOzarks]

Glad your back, to bad you could not make Spring Fling but I will have a shot for you!

[@ProfessionalMonkey]

You do that!!!

[@tex9280]

G'day Mr & Mrs monkey.... WARNING ❗❗ From personal experience & I still using these exact product from Drag Specialist, now little TIP.... My clutch cable out side of cable was wearing, so unclasped & put some electrical tape on the clutch cable to provent damage... Also your brake cable being loose & siding inside the bracket WILL EVENTUALLY RUB & DAMAGE ❗ So I put a little electrical tape again on the brake cable & everything is perfect. ALSO I put a little electrical tape on the inside of the bracket on the bar side, to prevent damage to the bars .... As WILL scratch in the long run❗ Do whatever you like but this was my experience & what I've done to make them work properly & without issues in the long run..... Living The F🤪KING Dream ❗ Safe travels 🙏♥️🐾🐾🇦🇺

[@305roadglide2]

I highly recommend All American cycles for the tuning.

[@robertzirk3372]

I just ordered 4 of them, thanks for sharing the product 👍

[@JaxGlide]

I'll be looking for those clamps in Black! Pretty slick!

[@williamrose8944]

You could take a piece of rubber from an old inner tube, cut a small piece and rap it around before mounting to the bar

[@RanGer-498]

Love my clamps i made a video on rumble about them a few months back. Only thing i did was powdercoat mine.

[@joglockaguinaga8229]

I just picked some up myself with the same thinking as you.

[@RobertJones-ix2hu]

You could play a “that’s what she said” drinking game to all professional monkey videos 😂😂 fukn love it! Keep on keepin on🤘🏻

[@rogeryule3272]

Can't wait to see the auto-tune vs. Dyno.

[@knuckleupgarage138]

So wish I had known about these sooner I just tied some Bandas around them for my 18” bars

[@redsky7527]

I used the exact same Hill Country clamps and Motion Pro cable clamps when I put 18’s on my bike a couple of years ago. I used blue loctite, not red.

[@nathansnedegar5885]

I’m sure Blockhead garage in Orlando could help with tuning if you wanted to go that route.

[@ProfessionalMonkey]

Thanks, he’s about 4 hours away and I don’t know him so I’ll just go to a shop that my friends have used.

[@homegrownson]

I was thinking you got the Tornado Beer Dispenser, Oh if place Items you Don't Need or Use with Price tags on them on wall, some of us would buy your cast offs, that or maybe on a weekend do a Monkey Garage Sale

[@donzollars8187]

Take it to those dyno guys! They ROCK!!!

[@mjwolf72]

I think for your fans you should go all the way up to have it tuned at blockhead garage

[@ProfessionalMonkey]

Nah. I don’t know him and he doesn’t know me…

[@johnstaub359]

We make that cross bar at the riser for KST bars right here in Daytona. Jus Sayin 😉

[@EthanBurchell]

What about taking it Blockhead’s in Orlando? Chris is a wizard on their Dyno, and they have some really good experiments they’ve run on the M8 platform! 🙂

[@BlackFlagAdventure]

Sorry I don’t know Florida’s layout but maybe head to blockheads garage and have sickwideglide tune your scooter for ya. Just a thought.

[@ProfessionalMonkey]

Nah, I’ll go to one of the performance shops I know down here. He’s about 4 hours away.

14” bars on a RoadKing 👍 G2G

[@bryankendrick3422]

U can run the brake and clutch cables inside the bars, well I know u can with the Carlini

[@ProfessionalMonkey]

I don’t think that would work with a cable clutch.

[@bryankendrick3422]

Yea that’s true

[@jeremyclark7192]

Chrome breaded wires would have looked good

[@keepittwisted51]

Should take it to Blockheadmoto garage for tuning! He’s in your neck of the woods (ish)!!

He’s about 4 hours away. We dont know each other so I’ll just go to a shop my buddies have recommended.

Trying to get hill country to help out is a nightmare ….

[@hookdog8640]

[@iamthesaga]

Let us know if they move/fall to the bottom of the bars after riding a bit

Was it YOU that the rainy day comparo with the RG vs the Bat wing?

[@ProfessionalMonkey]

I was one of them, yep.
