I'm building a schwinn riverside MB with a chinagirl kit. I was wondering if it would look awkward or badass to put on ape hangers, and if it is badass, how high should I go. Thoughts, places recommended to buy them?
 
I say build it with apes if thats what You want..I think it will look pretty cool...the riverside has the rack on the back right??? Put em up high as You can reach with a springer fork.
Cheers
 
Thanks Guys! I'm low on cash now because of this, but maybe as a christmas present I'll buy myself the apes and a nice headlight to run off of my magneto!
 
i got some 22's and love them. make you sit up straighter.but there not as strong or will strip the neck easier.cant got bunny hopping curbs with these.its kick back and hold on
 
Thanks for the advice, I won't be bunny hopping with mine since the riverside is a 7 speed cruiser
I want to put on some apes so that I'm not hunched forward but at the same time they can't be so high that I'm over stretching. I'm a tall guy (6 feet even more or less) so would the 22s do it?
 
ape hangers are notorious for lousy steering, and most states have height laws for motocycles. california actually has a law that states they can't be higher than your shoulders on a bicycle!

it's all in how you ride, though. it's up to you.
