Not really looking for extra height, just the hand position, can't decide between sport glide bars and mini apes, any feedback would be great.
Here's a pic of my FXLR when I had it after putting on Todds Cycle 10" mini apes. I could scrounge up other pic's if this doesn't show you enough. T'be honest, if I had it to do over I'd have put on HD Street Slammers, more for looks than anything else.

I had the same problem with the stock bars, mostly my right wrist.

have you thought about wild1 chubby pullback drag bars? Had them on my night train they were awesome. They might have the height you’re looking for. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/...rag-handlebars

Just goes to show that everyone's built differently. The stock buckhorn LR bars seem to fit me perfectly. So far anyway!

i like the looks of the buck horns but a tore up wrist doesn’t like the angle after about an hour. Now my wrist is straight and much more comfortable.
