i love em....i went from drag bars mounted on 6in risers to 16in apes with 1 1/2in risers...as long as you hands are not over your shoulders you will be fine. riding with the apes i sit alot more upright and my back is straight where with the drag bars i was hunched over and that killed my lower back.....so to answer your question they are very comfortable for me. but everyone is different...

 

maybe i should swap my clip on's on my gsxr for some apes LOL

Thanks for the answer i have always wondered

here are my bikes well.. what there is
i stripped the gsxr down to repaint the fairing.
some dummy painted it with a paint brush.


the ol' honda i just got a side cover for it's missing in the picture.
but she's really a good ol' bike


sorry for the big pictures. i'm not sure how to make em' smaller

 

Heres mine, '84 Honda Magna, 700cc V-4, liquid cooled, shaft drive.

 

Maybe I need to look into some ape's, I have the stock bars on now, and thought about going to the drag bars to help some. I took off the stock seat and put on a Mustang solo, and my back always ends up hurting after 100 miles.

I am thinking about just biting the bullet and getting a passenger seat and putting it on just to get some lower back support.

I have a bad back anyway."give:

 

I ride the following:

Right now I have:

2003 Honda RC51 (my track/race bike)
2002 Honda VTX1800C

I'm now looking into getting some kind of adventure sport bike next...something like a Suzuki V-Strom or KTM Adventure 990.

 

I ride a 2006 SV1000 on the street, and a 2005 Sherco 290cc TRIALS bike in the dirt.
