Default Ape pics
Any help would be appreciated. I have an 05 Electra Glide and I am upgrading my bars to apes. Gonna probably go 12" but any pic's of 10's,12's and 14's on a similar fairing would be a help.Want to still have some fairing hand shielding for my hands on those cold rides if I like the look. Been looking at KST Mayhem's, LA choppers, and the Yaffe monkey bars. Been searching on here for a while, time to decide. Thanks in advance.

I couldn't do anything with the word LA in it, just based on principle, or choppers too for touring bike.

Be careful going over 10" if you really want your hands protected behind the fairing.

These are 12" LA Chopper on my 2015 Ultra Limited.

Yep, if you want to stay behind the fairing, 10’s are as big as you can go. I have 12” Twin Peaks and while the wind has not been a problem even on mornings in the high 40’s, I do get bugs hitting my hands.
Even though my hands are just above the fairing I only get a bit of wind on the backs of them so that hasn’t been an issue.
Sorry, the only pic I have is in my sig.

Put a set of heated grips or HeatDemons on, then run your bars at what ever height is comfortable....I ran Heat Demons inside my bars, never experienced cold hands here in New England, riding April through the end of October.

I guess you could conclude that owners of Road Kings, Heritages and lots of other models are unconcerned about this.
