Default LA Choppers Twin Peaks
Think I am about to pull the trigger on some new bars. I have a few I like but think I have decided on the 10 inch LA chopper twin peaks.

Any pics or experience with these. Did a search and couldn't find much.

Bars will be here tonight but started the tear down today. I have done bars before but never with a fairing so the video LA Choppers has was very helpful in moving the inner fairing.

Bars removed.

Bars came in tonight and I am very pleased with the quality. Everything looks great on them.

Got the left side wired pretty quick it only took a few minutes.

Right side not so lucky. TBW is causing more work. After getting stuck twice going to give it a rest and work on it tomorrow.

Hope to get off early enough tomorrow to finish it all.

Subscribed. I am looking at doing bars on my SG as well. Do you anticipate these being above the fairing? Im hoping to find some that will be just below the top of the fairing.

10" bars will usually sit maybe a tad bit below the top of the fairing but the ones I have seen sit pretty much even with the top of the fairing. My buddy has 10" Monkey Bars and they are pretty much even with the top of the fairing. Hope this helps you.

I like the look of those bars. Are they over the top of the fairing? Looking for a set but don't want them to be higher than the fairing. What part number did you get?
