Harley Batwing Mini-Apes 12“. I‘m just 5.7‘ but these fit much better than stock bars.

Mad River near me has some display bars bolted up on stands so you can check the angles an stuff but last time I checked they only carried HD offerings.
If you have wrist problems I would not recommend t bars or the FXR bars. The angle is definitely more aggressive, it locks you in and keeps elbows high for turning, but does make it harder to clear the thumb to get to signals and horn.

These are perfect, hands just below the fairing.

I did the Khromewerks 10” Bagger Bobber Apes on my ‘19 and did not need wire extensions.

Just stirring the pot, but can you call them apes if they don't go above the faring? I think "apes" start at about 14"+, otherwise, they're just handlebars.

I agree, but that’s what Khromewerks calls em!

Talking with LA Choppers they have a new bar called Grande Twin Peaks that have a 10" pullback and wrist angle is 33 degrees...

The width might be an issue since they are 36.5" wide...that's 3" wider than the stock low bars...

Anybody put their hands on these bars yet?

Any other options for what I am looking for?
I have the Yaffe 10” monkey bars and they are the perfect height. Hands stay “just” out of the wind.
