I went from 18" apes to drag bars (Super Sweepers) and immediately back to my apes! Drag bars suck! Lol! I just like the feel of the ride with the apes on. I personally feel that my bike is more responsive with the apes than with drag bars. And they are just so damn cool! At least in my little world anyhow. To each his own, right?

The stock bars on my Rocker C weren't really drag bars, but close enough with me reaching for them.
My 13.5" tall bars with 1.5" risers now let me sit up straight instead of leaning forward reaching for them.

The way I have them setup, my hands are slightly below my shoulders.
