Default LA choppers FL 12" ape hangers, anyone?
Looking for pics and / or experiences with this FL model handlebar. The name makes them difficult to search, I get lots of hits on the Twin Peaks bars.

I wish there was a place where you could sit on a simulated bike and try out different bars.

Two riding buddies have the LA 12", they are great bars!! They are taller than all the other 12" I've seen or been on. I have WO577 12 1/2" bars and they are taller than mine.

I have the 14" LA FL bars, I am 5'8 I find these bars to have a nuetral wrist angle and the right amount of pull back. Not the best pic but it's all I have for now

No cable change, plenty of cable in the batwing. Did short wire extension but you maybe be able to get away without it.
