My typical 66cc direct drive build like this would not usually warrant a post up here but I wanted to make a point about Ape Hanger handlebars...
I've built 3 or 4 bikes with Ape Hangers and I can't stand them but for some reason these were actually comfortable to ride with and I think I know why, they are wide enough and not too tall.
I don't know the make or model of the bars are, the customer bought the bike and had those handlebars put on at the bike around the corner but I can find out if anyone wants.
Everything like the clutch and 7-speed shifter as well as the dual pull V brake lever and throttle fit on pretty well.
Just enough room as it were.
Expect a lot of cable work to make it look at least acceptable but the foam grips I put on I think the long bars might even take more of the road out your hands as I didn't feel anything in my hands.
