Default Help in San Diego?

Bought a 2010 FB Lo...need to change the bars but undecided on what to go with. Anyone in the San Diego area willing to let me throw a leg over their ride to get a feel for the bars? Looking at either Street Slammers, or 14 or 16" apes. Ill bring beer!!!

I have Carlini 16" Flying Apes and 18" Wild One Chubbies on a couple Softails -- but you will have to drive up the road to San Clemente. SJ Ron

I would go to a big shop where there is an event and walk around, talk to people. Be friendly and they may allow you to feel out their bars. They may also have a bike in stock that you would be more than welcome to sit on. San Diego Harley-Davidson has tons of bikes and they have a huge event next Saturday 10/13 (free concert with P.O.D.)
There will be hundreds of bikes there.

Picked up my shock from JD yesterday...while I was there I went into the dealer and talked to a guy about bars. He actually let me go in the back and try out a few sets. Found what Im looking for! Thanks for the advice!
