Talking Your pics of 14" LA Choppers Twin Peaks on a batwing fairing

If you have these bars would you please post pics. Also how tall are you? I'm 5'7" and am wondering if these would be at or below my shoulders and how much I will have to tilt them back. Hopefully your pictures will help. Thanks.

At 5'7" I would recommend 12's unless you have very long arms....

Thanks for the reply. My thinking with the taller bars is that for the same degree that I would tilt back the 12s I would get more range out of the 14s. Does that make sense?

Pi*r2

I do tend to overthink things but this is a pretty big project and I'd like to get it right the first time.

Don't blame you, I thought 10's would work, no, had to order 12's. The 14's probably will work if you pull them down and your shoulders still should be higher then your hands.

I know your looking for pics with 14s but im 6'2 and have 16s and think they are a good height for me, they are extremely comfortable and are great bars.

I'm 5'6" and I went with Cyclesmith 13's they put my hands even with my shoulders not above. You should be fine.

Here are 2 sets of 10" Twin Peaks I installed. The rider of the black bike is about 5'8" and you can see he's got the bars rotated back a good bit. The rider of the blue bike is 6'2" and has them rotated all the way forward.

Keep in mind some choose to pull them back and some push them all the way to the fairing. I don't like the pullback look which is why I chose the Cyclesmiths because I am short and need the pullback without rotating the bars down. Wild one bagger apes also have nice PB. A lot of them only had like 5". Not enough for a shorty like me!

I'm with you JSwerve. I think pullin the bars back just doesn't look right IMO. I would rather have more pullback to get the bars where I needed them instead of going taller and rotating them back. Just an observation.
