Default 1.25 or 1.5 Bars

I'm getting ready to place a order with Bill at BR Customs for some apes. I will be replacing my drag bars on my Night Train. What size do you guys think would look best between 1.25" or 1.5"???

I'd go 1.25 since you don't have the FL front end.

Those bars look good. How is the pullback? I was looking at the same bars for my Lo, but was not sure if they had enough pullback without pulling the bars back to far in the risers.

The pullback seems fine for me. I prefer riding with a forward lean, so I have the bars rolled forward, the verticals are just about plumb when viewed from the side. Here's a side view from final assembly. To me they feel perfectly comfortable and natural, and the angle on the grips is about perfect.
