I have a 14 wg and long rides my lower back starts to hurt and I feel hunched over when I ride. I have stock bars and risers. I would like to have my hand position higher but not quite as high as a mini ape. And I don't like the look of the big t bars on the club style bikes. I thought maybe switchback bars with a 2 inch pullback riser. Any suggestions?

 

Don't underestimate the mini apes. The stock streetbob bars are amazingly comfortable. And they have a nice pull back and wrist position. I've ridden a switchback and felt the bars were a tad too low.

 

I'd echo the above poster. The stock mini apes that came with my Street Bob had a perfect height and good wrist position. In my case of being 5'7 I found the reach to be a little long in tight situations but comfort was great. You can also pick them up dirt cheap since so many people replace them.

I bought Wild 1 8" pull back drag bars. Close to the same end height of my mini apes but closer to my body. Of course with a one piece design you lose the ability to adjust.

 

I'm also 5'10 and have a sundowner seat if that helps

 

At that height, I wouldn't go any less than a mini-ape. Especially with a sundowner seat. Those really add to your seat height.

 

I myself was looking at the Flanders bars for my 09 Superglide. I understand risers mess with the speedo position if you try to use those Rivco's.

I'll post how I like them soon as they come in

 

I've used these for the last 50k miles. Best investment I've ever made. Almost infinitely adjustable.

 

The mini apes?

 

I liked the bars on the new low ride. Wish they came on the SB.
