Should I stay or should I go with apes?

I love Apes but with the way your bike flows I think the drag bars will fit better, jmo and I was wrong once but was mistaken.

I'm 5'8" and my 13.5" BR Lightning Bolts are at shoulder height or less if I sit up straight. I'm using Carlini 1.5" risers with the 1.5" dia bars.
They are in line with the frontend. They of course would be higher rolled forward. Bill will ship them raw/chromed/PC'd etc.

Guess I am in the minority, but I like the drag bars.

I put some 14's on my bike a couple of years ago, and I love 'em. I do kind of wish I would have gone with 16's though. I say do it -

For the record and all jokes aside, I'm a fan of apes. This is my '77...
