Are you planning on keeping the pull back riser? If so go with drags.I'm not a big fan of pull back risers at all but they look terrible with apes.And Bosken keep the drags, it's part of what makes your bike look unique, everybody's doing apes now days.

Nah, the pullbacks go either way. The drags I'm considering have integral risers.

For my scooter, I like the look of drags more than I do apes. when I found a set that had similar hand placement (Wild-1 model 507), I went with them. No regrets.

I'm hapf way through a Mini Ape install (waiting on the cables) and I can't wait to get it done. I've mounted them on the bike so see how they'll feel and I can tell I'm going to love them.....but I am 6'3" and anything lower is a pain in the back!

Could get expensive. You could always ask to sit on bikes with the various styles of bars you have in mind to get an idea of what feels right.

Thats what I did. Lots of guys said go ahead, try it out...a few even offered to let me take their bikes for a ride! I didnt though.
