Riding My Honda Rebel 250 With 12" Ape Hangers

This was my first time riding the bike with the Ape Hangers installed. Made a huge difference!

They definitely did, especially for a tall rider like myself. Unfortunately this bike was totaled in an accident :/

Love your bike dude I ride a rebel 250 with Renthal mx bars. Thinking of slapping on some apes but I didn't think I could pull it off with stock cables lol

[@ObliviousArt]

Thanks man, I'll have to look those bars up. It rides really well with apes but I'm 6'1. I have stock cables on these, but it just barely works lol.

You would get a crapload of views and channel exposure if you were to make a video putting 12" hangers and still using stock cables. Analytics show it is in huge demand. So many people go with 8" or 10" when they could have 12" which is just that threshold that looks so much better.

I have started to notice haha, a lot of people ask about it. Thanks for the tip boss. I think I'm going to make a video on the bike tomorrow, and explain exactly how I set it up.

Hey Man. I think you should learn to use engine braking for slowing down instead of clutch in and brakes applied. Maybe your brakes would last longer and you would be much safer on the road.

Yea I was a noob aha

[@Pragtical]

hey man did you have to get new cables? and what brand are they? love them

[@ObliviousArt]

Cables are stock! Apes any bigger would require new cables.

[@anthonysvice532]

@@ObliviousArt how did you get them to fit!! I have stock as well an 10 rise apes please let me know

[@ObliviousArt]

@@anthonysvice532 I posted a video going over the cables if you want to check it out man

[@Kevin-ww3ro]

What sizes bars are you running

[@ObliviousArt]

Hey man, these are 12" apes. If you want to see how I set them up with stock cables, you can watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKXZg4V5ab9orNU

[@andrewellis2020]

What brand?

[@ObliviousArt]

The bars are emgo, and 7/8 diameter. I looked on Amazon, and the 12" isn't available right now, but they have 10" and 14". Realistically any bars with 7/8 diameter should work, but consider the cables when you're choosing.
