Default 82 FLH Bars
Hey guys. Still making a few tweaks to the 82 FLH I bought back in May. Just finished rebuilding the bottom half of the super E carb. Next I want to change out the bars to more of a factory looking set of bars. Currently has some pretty tall apes. Anyone have any suggestions on what bars I should look at on ebay or J&P?

I would look on the Bay and try and find factory bars.
