Default Anyone got Apes on their Fatboy Lo?

I'm going to put Apes on but can't decide between 12" and 14"....

Anyone got pictures of their fatboy with Apes of those sizes?

Thanks!

If it helps at all, mine has 16" bars and I am 6' and my hands sit about level with my shoulders.



I believe "beasleyiv" has the exact same bars as I do (LA Choppers), but in 14"

Thanks Captain, great looking ride you have there.... I'm only 5'9" so the 16" would be too tall for me.

Thanks Miked053... I was leaning toward the 14" but looking at your bike I think they would still be too tall for me.... might have to stick with 12".

^ What he said. TNB has 12" bars and his bike is bad ***, so if you needed one, there is your excuse to take a look at his album.
