I think I'm having to stretch forward/down just a little too much.

I'm planning a rather long trip in June and would like to get this sorted. I'd like to not have to deal with new cables if possible.

So, I'm looking at these three bars (so far):
- WildOne 575 Bagger Bar (http://www.wild1inc.com/BAGGER.html)
- WildOne 578 10" Bagger Ape Hanger (http://www.wild1inc.com/BAGGER.html)
- Klock Werks Ergo Back Bars (http://www.kustombaggers.com/ERGO-Ba...atalogId=-1750)

I'm leaning toward the 575s. But the 578s look tempting too.

Does anyone have any experience with these or similar bars? Should I also look at a different make, model or size?

Thanks for any advice!

It's so hard to tell. When just sitting on the bike with my hands in the approx. position of the 10", then the 12.5" bars, it seems the 10" would be better. I can't help but think the 12.5" would be higher than my shoulder.

I also just got a Corbin seat that pushes me forward a little bit. I think that should put a nice bend in my elbows. If I also get the backrest (I think I will) I should be good-to-go.

Oh well... I'll see how I like 'em. No rule says I can only swap bars once.

I'll post pics when I get them installed!
