Try pushing them way forward. (almost straight up and down, but not all the way) this tends to sit you up more and stretch your lower back out some. A lot of people get stuck on the thought that if your arms are to high they go numb. And for the most part that is part. I found that with the bars pulled way back I was leaning back while riding, causes pressure to be put on disc, which then can radiate pain up the arms.

I'm a staunch believer in t-bars or drag bars... whatever. Apes are more for show IMHO...drag bars are for go..and isn't that what the dyna line is about? Hey, to each his own but for me it's drags.

LOL - I have the same problem with drags!

I have seen drags on those before, and they look nice depending on what the plan is for the bike.

As for me, I moved the bars to where you see them in my pic and I have never been more comfortable or agile on any bike I have been on. Drags bug my shoulders and wrists.
