Default Narrowest Batwing Bars

I’m looking for a set of 14” apes. I’m open to different designs but I’m looking for narrow. So far, looks like LA Choppers Twin Peaks come in at 34” width. Anybody got a good, narrow recommendation?

You can put a Thrashing Supply pull back plate with 8” risers and high bend bars from Biltwell, that’s my set up on my Roadglide, they have a pullback plate for a Streetglide, it will give you a total of about 14”

Vindikita Hoopteeze bars are 31" wide and mount the same as the stock batwing bars.

The site says it interferes with the fork lock and accessory position. What’s your experience?

Looked them up and they’re kind of cool. Do you have any experience with them?

You can’t use your fork lock or accy, I never used them anyway so I didn’t mind. Lucky Daves I think has a set that fits.

A guy I ride with has the Hoop-Teeze and they are narrow. They're a nightmare to wire too, and from what I saw, they block the fuel and voltmeter gagues, but not much. He likes them and he said they're the most narrow bars you can get without making your own.

I don't but it was between them and the LA Choppers Twin Peaks. I ended up getting the Twin Peaks for price and the availability when I did my bars this past March or April.
