dude everybody has a different preference. I suggest you ride a bike with drag bars and then apes and then make up your mind! i started off with drags but it gave me major pain in the shoulder/ back area from leaning forward.... and since i changed to apes i have had no issues... the weird thing is that i traded my drag bars with someone who didnt like the apes once he got it!.... it all boils down to how you ride!
ride safe!

Thanks for all the replies. I'm leaning more toward the drag bars. I have the speedo and tach mounted on the bars. Is this an issue with the drags?

Just wanted to add this. I was running something towards a drag bar and thought why not try the apes. Went with 16" and stock riser, new cables and such. Well the outcome has been less problems with my wrist and back. Just wanted to throw that out there.
