How would it be more tiresome than any other handlebar? Guys are riding around in 16” apes or have their arms spread out with low slung beach bars..... I’ve changed bars 3 times now on my RG and these are my favorite so far by a mile. I did a 4 hour trip last month and I didnt feel any more tired or fatigued. Nobody that I know of rides in the same position arms locked for hours @ a time? Bars are just like seats there’s no 1 size fit all. Different arm lengths, posture, injuries, etc You just gotta try try and try till you find what works for you

My only concern is with no pull back. Unfortunately the only way to find out is buy them and install them. I'm just trying to improve the wrist angle from the stock bars. So many bars out there and when you can't try them out it's hard to make a decision. Plus I overthink everything so that doesn't help!
You really are overthinking this and basing opinions of people who have entirely different body types, seats, controls, etc
Unless there is a twin of you on this forum that has the same exact bike as you down to the tire psi you aren’t gonna get a guarantee on whether or not these bars will work for you.

You don’t need pullback..... depending on the length of your arms and the seat height/position you can move the bars toward or away from you.

i haven’t had any issues with mine, I wish they would of just put the holes for the Pin in there though. The pin on the bottom clamp is just for assembly at the factory I believe, so the installers install the stock bars in the right position.
