I like the looks of the FXR motorwitch over the weird LA Chopper loopy thing. Dependent on height 12's are a common pick! That's what I have but Kraus Iso

Back to the guy asking about pipe length and taller suspensions, I'm pretty sure it's the exhaust contacting the rear axle nut that is the issue. Typically anything taller than 13" will require a shorter exhaust (I think). I'm running a full length Bassani and 13" Legends. I haven't done the front end yet.

I was looking into the Legends rear and the site states if using a 14" shock a mid length is needed.
Thanks TWINCAM10353
Should I do front or rear first? which gives me the biggest bang for my buck?

i have 12” FXR division motorwitch bars and really like them (with solid riser bushings) I’m 5’7” and find them really comfortable. I could probably be fine with 14” also but I find 12’s to be a little better in corners. I think you’d be happy either way, but depends if you’re a guy who likes bars on the taller side or not.
I’ll post some pics of the bars and me on it for reference:
