First of all that is the best looking Dyna that I have ever seen and those bars look sick! Don’t change it. I have apes and on long rides it starts to become a problem. If I go 400 + miles I don’t like my bars. In fact, after seeing your bike I think I might put those bars on my bike!

Check out my funky handlebar picture thread. There's TONS of different ideas to use there. I like your bars fine, but your bike needs black bars.

A set of flat track bars would look vintage and give you some usable leverage and some adjustability.That said the bars you have on there look fine and if you're comfortable with them leave them alone.

The Carlinis are awesome! I wouldn't change them, but given your history of all the different looks for your bike I understand that you can't leave well-enough alone.
