RE: Pull Back on Apes
If the bars on your bike are Street Slammers, and my memory serves me correctly, you already have over 9" of pulllback now. If you use straight risers with the apes, you should find the pullback to be about the same

Good point.........That should give me some reference to work with. I had my seat lowered, and it brought me back a couple of inches, so now I have a slight bend in my elbows with the Street Slammers. I should probably look into a bar with the same amount of pullback.
I thought I read somewhere that your pullback changes with a different rake on the front end. Does this mean more pullback (with the same bars) on a Wideglide front end compared to a Street Bob or Super Gide?
I may be over-analyzing things as Annibus said, but I have bad shoulders from past sports injuries, and am looking for bars that will keep my wrist more to the sky and less pronated without having to lean forward. The Slammers are very comfortable for me, (probably a little too much pullback), but I love the look and feel of having your knuckles up in the wind that the apes give you.
Thanks to everyone for their insights, and keep them coming, if anyone has any more suggestions.
