Default PrimeApes question

After looking a little closer at the PrimeApes I really, really like them over the Yaffe's MBB. They are almost 100.00 bucks cheaper and they are made in the USA (Yaffe's are made over seas thats why it takes so long to get them in stock) but in no way do I want 13" bars so my question is does anyone with inside info know if LA choppers plan on offering the PrimeApes in any other sizes besides 13"? With a lot of people having trouble deciding between 10" or 12" MBB, I think LA choppers would have a strong demand for 11" PrimeApes.

I don't know if LA Choppers plans on making other sizes, but I will say that the 13" bars are really only about 10 or 11" at the grip height. I just had a non-fairing set installed on my Road King. The 13" measurement is from the sharp, highest point in the bend to the bottom of the bars. I'm 5'11" and my hands are just below my shoulders.
