Cool Roland Sands, Paul Yaffe, Khromewerks, or Wild 1's?

I think I've narrowed it down to these 5 handlebar selections so I'd like some forum input from users.

When I'm in the riding position, I need the extra leg room my Tallboy seat and C&C Fastback allow, as they sit me back farther than the OEM seat which pushed me up on the tank too much, however, my arms run a little short in the touring position and I find myself having to "sit-up" to keep at least one hand on the handlebars.

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!

Talking

Some dimensions of each bar:

Roland Sands Convoy FL Handlebars (0601-0694) $379.00
34.4"Wide x 9" rise x 14.75" center x 6" pullback




Roland Sands Lazyboy FL Hanldbars (0601-0693) $307.00
33"Wide x 9" rise x 14" center x 5¾" pullback




Paul Yaffe Custom built Bagger Apes (~$200)
37" wide x 10" rise x 9" pullback




Khromewerks +2 Sweepers 300505's ($63.99)
34"wide x 10.83" rise x 12" center x 6.41" pullback




Wild Ones 575 ($214)
34.5"wide x 10"rise x 14" center x 13" pullback



The bars would be chromed. I just put the black ones cause it's all I could find for pics that fit....LOL

I ride with the Khromewerks sweeper +2. They have a reasonable amount of pullback and feel much better than stock, especially on the wrist position. I can see these working for you if you are on a tallboy seat. If you are real tall then try before you buy.

PhilM was telling me about a place out in Cali that does some top-shelf custom work but I forgot the name. I think he said there was quite a wait but well worth it. Got a link to any place in particular?

that's Handlebar Lee.... but he takes for ever to even return a call, not good customer service is my opinion. Go to Bill @ BR Customs..... he has done all my bars 100% to my specs PERFECT EVERY TIME!!!!
