I use to hate those Z bars from 30 or so years ago. I’m starting to warm up to those, now some of your guys bike wouldn’t look as good with the standard curve bars.

Hey Spat, I installed the signals before the Hell Bent bars. I just removed the existing signals and cut/wired into the stock wires. Harley then installed the Hell Bent bars sometime after and extended the wires to accommodate.

Has anyone installed the LA Choppers Tree Hugger apes? Leaning this direction, need to decide on a height for the bars. I'm 6 ft so debating between 13" and 16", and since they bolt directly to the triple tree and don't use a riser, wanted to see them installed to get a better idea.
