Default Which bars do you think would work best for me?

I'm trying to decide between the Street Slammers or a set of Carlini drag bars and would like some thoughts. I prefer to lean forward a bit on my ride as opposed to having a ton of pullback. I want a set of bars that don't stick up a ton or in other words look like they flow with the bike to give it a low profile look. Any thoughts and/or pics would be appreciated.

im a huge fan of dragbars and Carlini products.
I had BR Customs make me some t-bars for my nitetrain. They are 28" wide, 4 inch risers, 1 1/2 inch thick and 2" of pullback.

I have 5" Rise Carlini Cleansweeps on my roadking.

Either of the above mentioned bars i have are goin to have less rise and pullback than the StreetSweepers- they will make you lean forward.

Ill be taking my drag bars and 8'' pullback risers off my bike in a week or two when my apes come in if you're interested... 28'' wide. Not a great pic but I think these came stock with this special edition NT.

I'm a hugs fan of Carlini, too.I got the extra fat Clean Sweeps. Their diameter almost matches the forks. Its a great look. Check out my photos.

My guess is the Super Sweep 1.50" with the 9" rise.

I have the Clean Sweep 1.5". You always know the 1.5" think, because they kind of bulge out after the the grips. This think I accidentally said that I have the Super Sweeps in an earlier post. I'll have to edit that.

They rise and pullback look WAY more exaggerated than mine, so I'm guessing they are Super Sweeps. AT 30 seconds into the video, you can see the profile. They have a huge curve backwards that you don't really see when you look at the website photos.
