Default just ordered drag bars

i went to the dealer today and ordered a set of drag bars..i was kind of looking to go the other way(like mini apes) but i dont want to spend all the money for cables etc... i like the looks of the drags more than i do the apes but the apes look more comfy..looking for some feedback from guys that put drags on to see how they feel compared to stock..

I love them, made the steering feel just a bit heavier which i liked throwing it around in the twisties. They are the 27.5 inch drag bars from hd on my roadster and besides mirrors being about worthless they are great.

Love my drags... 31.5" width.. started with 27.5's and found them a bit narrow for my liking. The feel is great. I feel better than apes. But that is personal choice and opinion, I like the stance drags give the bike and the feel it gives the bike. Only complaint I had was with the narrow 27" bars, the mirrors were hard to see out of, with the 32's I can see out the mirrors just fine.

I have the 27" drag bars that came on my 1200-C. They dont work good for me. I need to reach forward to much, and I get a lot of upper back pain. Im looking for bars with about 4 or 5" more of pull back and about a 2" rise. I think about 30 or 31" wide would also feel better. I hope this will help with the pain, but I also think they 'would' be more comfy...
