I was set on FLT, and just changed my mind. Maybe when taller bar fad passes,when I get next bike.
It's not a fad, they have to clear the inner fairing and fuel tank. You're not gonna see a RG with beach bars.

No but the bars are shorter on road glides without trunks. So isn't a fairing issue Not to mention the years ands they didn't have tall bars

I think any dealer is willing to do anything, within reason, to make a sale, including switching bars.

They are not apes. No touring models come with anything close to apes. So stop saying the word apes unless you're referring to bars 14" and up.

Apes




Not apes.

Apes on sharks sounds funnier than mini apes or tall bar. It's about presentation.

Just like a push up bra and tall bars

Dog bit you twice, but you still came back. I don't think you like bear hunting.

I like my new analogy of tall bars are like push up bra

Sharks don't have apes, mini-apes or tall bars. Taller is different from tall. A 4' person that's taller then a 3' person is not a tall person.

It's your odd placement and choice of words that's holding you back.
