Help with handlebars
I did some upgrades to my 09 FLHT and now I am having some discomfort. To start I am 5'11" about 210 lbs. I wear a 35" sleeve on my dress shirts so I don't have too short of arms. My pant inseem is about 31". So here is my issue: I put on a C&C solo seat and Khrome Werks +2 sweepers. I am having some serious discomfort in my back, especially between my shoulder blades (left side is the worst). The stock bars caused me to reach too far forward, but these bars don't feel too much closer between the CC seat and wider grip on the sweepers. When I am on the bike my arms aren't completely straight, but not 90 degree bend at the elbow either. Don't know if I should switch out the bars for something that will be a bit closer, but what is closer than the sweepers? Don't want a close seat as I would be sitting on the tank then. Thought about apes, especially the YFO Monkey bagger bars, but when I look at the pictures of them, they make me think that I would be leaning forward to grab them... any help/suggested would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help!
