Default Should I trade my wide glide for a super glide?

I'm 6'6" and am looking at putting apes on my wide glide, but I can't follow the natural angle of the field because of the extra rake.

A super would be easier for me to keep that natural angle.

What do you all say?

I would say put the bars where they are most comfortable. Matching the fork angle as a reason to swap motorcycles....... no.

Being that tall you would miss the leg room on the Wide Glide.

How 'bout those Apes that have a curve to them. They would start out inline with your forks and then start turning upwards.

You probably get the idea
