Here is a pic of my screamer with apes and an old German bike I've been working on.

Recently changed my cruiser bars to ape hangers

I am having trouble keeping my bars from wiggling loose, anyone got a solution? This is my first ape-hanger bike and wow they're springy.

 

[deorman]

Stem loose in steer tube, or bar loose in stem? Bar smooth or fluted at mounting point? Stem smooth or fluted at mounting point? Shims, or no shims? Wimpy stamp-folded steel stem, traditional cast, or newer "mtb" style? Either you're not cranking it tight enough, or you've got a stem problem. You need a tight fitting and strong stem to handle the leverage. Old style cheap stems will only work if a perfect fit, and you can actually bend or break them at very inconvenient moments. :|

Sounds like i need to give it some muscle. It's a 28" ape hanger bar in a shim in the folded stem of the 20" sears spyder posted a few pages back, so I was kinda pushing it. Just wondering if there were any genius fixes out there I don't know of.

Might have to just add a toolbag with a wrench.

My only contribution is this 59 Ross Deluxe....my first taste of a vintage tanklight bike and what started all the madness and the overwhelming addiction I now have.

The bars are cool, but lose the basket.

thanks for the feedback, but that basket is welded into the bars. May just stick to the ape hangers.
