    illegal in Ohio

    I just learned that those bars are way past the legal limit in Ohio.

    I didn't know Ohio had a law re: Ape hangers.. Last week I was required to take some recurrent training

    for the Sheriff's Office I work for... I elected to take a short online course on "motorcycle safety"

    Safety my Arse, it was all Enforcement! One section was on handlebars... Handlebar grips may be NO MORE than 15" above the

    center of the saddle or seat where the driver sits. That measurement is calculated by measuring up then using a horizontal line to the top of the grips...

    15" isn't that much really.

    That got me thinking... My F6B bars rise up nearly a foot... and my seat is below the bar mounts...

    I went out and measured it. It was legal, but not by much.

    Apes in Ohio? good Luck if you want them... Every trooper in Ohio who needs a little recurrent trng time will take this new short course. I see alot of guys getting popped this summer.

    I also like the red wheels, did you paint them or have them powder coated? Sharp looking bike!
    Remember,There are three kinds of people in this world, those that can count and those that can't.

    The KW shield is HOT as well but they will not be making a TALL shield....
    Agreed! That bike looks cool and as long as the owner likes it that's all that matters.

    Regarding the KW shield, I saw on their website that they now offer a taller vented shield for the GW. Seems the KW GW tall shield should fit our F6B. I have a Vstream made for a GW on my F6B and I was able to install it with no issues. GW shields appear to be interchangeable with the F6B.

    Hey Tommy , not my cup of tea but I like it for you brother. I don't believe you was trying to make it look like a Harley but rather an F6B with apes. Like the red wheels. Do your thing man. There are always haters. Ignore them. Until they start making your payments its your to do as you want. Mod on!!!!
