Default La Choppers 10" Twin Peaks installed on my Street Glide

I just finished installing the La Choppers Twin Peaks 10" bars on my 2013 Street Glide. All the electrical went in without a hitch, The brake line was also plenty long enough but the clutch is about 2" short. I purchased a new 3" over clutch cable but since it is only a little tight when I turn my bars to the right I will wait until winter sets in to change it out. Thanks to HandleBarLouie for the great deal on these bars. Attached are the pics.

I can't see anything from the mirrors, they are useless. so I need to get another set. Any recommendations on a nice set that will not break the bank?

I bought the 10"'s, not enough pull back. Just installed the 12" yesterday. Waiting on my Magnum +8 (overkill) 2 piece brake line to finish the job. Big difference in the hand/wrist position compared to stock but in a good way.

Sorry for the highjack but the 10"'s (black) are for sale in the classified section guys......If interested, PM me for pricing/negotiations...

The windshield is a Harley Davidson 10" Wind splitter. I have tried 4 different ones and this is the only one that completely stopped the bobble head...

Nice looking bike all the way around. Are you happy with the height or do you wish you had gone a little taller?

Nope I am happy with the height. I did not want bars over my fairing and these are right at the top. My hands are higher than fairing. These are the perfect height...

Looks great I use the Arlen Ness Mini Oval mirrors. Apes over a fairing bike don't look right IMO.

Nice, I like the sharp angles on the bends. Like the yaffe monkey bars I'm considering but a little more conservative - which I like. Do you know if they work with a hydraulic clutch?

It looks like you have the bars positioned forward. They can be pulled back which pulls your shoulders back slightly. 10-12" seem to be the best option for the SG. Everyone keeps trying to talk me into 14". It's not a Road King or a Deluxe. It's a SG.
