I'm needing a bar to correct this and allow me to ride in a La-Z-boy style riding position and still reach the bars.

Which bar would allow the most comfort and look the best? I'm soooo confoosed....LOL!
DUDE!

You REALLY need to have a good hard look at BR Bars!!!! http://www.brcustomcycles.com/ELECTR...REET_GLIDE.php

After having seen a thread here showing some, I put my plans for the Yaffe or HandlebarLee's on hold. I called and talked to BR (Bill) and he's a GREAT guy that makes some KILLER bars (and other stuff) for a great price!

I got my BR's, custom sized, pre-wired internally, powder coated, custom gusset, delivered to the door for about the base price of HandleBarLee's. Plus... the BR's are 1.5" vs 1.25".

Have a look Darren!!!! Trust me... Have I ever given you bad info?

Khrome Werks +2 here, with C&C seat made a perfect match of rise and pullback. They told me sit on the seat, extend my arms comfortably and let them fall naturally down, thats where the bars would be. They were dead on! And the price was hard to bead...

Just a heads-up, the Yaffe bagger apes are cyclesmiths bars...or at least that's what was stamped into the chrome of the ones that my friend purchased.

Damn Phil. Where were you when I bought my Yaffe's? Never seen or heard of the BR's, but I'm going to stop looking before I get the "I wish I would have"s. BTW, the 107 is on the way.
