Default Khrome Werks +2 Question

I have seen some reference these bars as being low, "in your lap.". Here is my question- wife needs +2 bars on 2015 SGS but wants to keep fairing mirrors so will these bars be same height as stock and if we go +2 +2 will the height interfere with mirrors (I think some height on the bars would help her on longer rides)? Thanks in advance for any insight from those who might have experience with these bars.

Default 2+2's

I have the narrow 2+2's on my 14 street glide, can still use the mirrors for side view, but i need to remove either hand in order to take a peak behind me. Great comfy bars, but, if i am going to have to change the mirrors, im putting a set of yaffe bars or of the sort on it. And im 5 foot 7 so not a tall rider. I am convinced not many bars to choose from if u want to use the stock fairing mirrors.
Also, they do not fit in the indentations of the inner fairing all that well. Not complaining all that much about $100 set of bars though. I took them as a first set of bars, to help figure out what i want out of the next set.

Thanks manzo, that's about what I figured but wasn't sure. I think I'll stick with the + 2, trying to keep a low wrist angle and looks like the KWs have a better wrist angle for her.

I recenty did the +2 narrow sweepers on my SGS. I really wanted to do the 2+2 but wanted to keep the fairing mounted mirrors as well. If I had gone with the 2+2, the bars would be directly in the line of sight with the mirrors. Although I am most likely significantly taller than your wife (6'5" 180lbs. with 36" inseam) I have a seat that moves me nearly 2 inches back and the bars allow me to have a very relaxed shoudler position. I recently did a 2600 mile 4 day trip with no problems. The best part is the $100 investiment and easy install makes the risk vs. gain a no brainer.
