We'll after almost two years I finally got rid of the stock bars. I can't believe it took me this long. My old bike had 12" ape so when I got the new bike I knew how bad the stock bars were, I guess I just got used to sitting that way.

I ended up going with the Khrome Werks Fat Heritage style bars. They made a huge difference.

Huge difference, i went with 12" bars when I swapped out my extra reach bars, wish I would have went 14"

 

Looking good. Enjoy the comfort.

 

I've had my new bars sitting in the garage for close to a year now. I just need time to change them.

 

The NEW bars are a big improvement over the OLD bars, for sure...

but, ergonomically speaking, the ideal height will position your wrists BELOW your shoulders, but ABOVE your elbows.
