No, wind is not a problem for me. I had naked sport bikes before and I grown strong neck muscles... 
I think it's a blood issue, with ape the hands are few inches over hearth level and after long time riding they become tired.
I've learned to love the handlebars set I had on my previous '04 XL1200C with 4,5" pull back risers.
I think Dyna Low Rider has something similar.

The numbers off the 1200C and the FXDL bars are similar, but not the same. The sporty bars have a little more pull back, and will cause your hands to twist outward. The Dyna Low has a more natural twist in the wrist (same angle as the mini ape). You'll have fun trying to duplicate the same pull back as the sporty unless you get sporty bars. None of the other bars on Harleys list have that same pull back ratio.
I've also found XL handlebars 82-up new. It's 27" wide against 31" low rider.
I hope to find a similar driving position.

mini ape's have them on three bike's. but what work's for me may not work for you.on a road trip the wind alone will beat you up. depending how far it's hard to be perfect . alot of thing's become a factor on the road. even the best seat's grow teeth after so long and rather you have a windshield or not. what may work for three hundred miles may not work for six hundred.no matter what you may do there is some discomfort on a big road trip.but it's all what you make of it.

What's the most comfortable handlebars for a Dyna?
Something relaxing for long trips.
I've a '07 SB and the mini ape makes me tired after long riding.
A friend of mine told me the Sportster one with 4,5" riser pullback, like the XL1200C or somthing similar to the Low Rider's.

As everyone stated, it's a personal preference. I was getting pain between the shoulders with my stock Lowrider bars, so I went with a set of 504s Chubbys from Wild1 and they are very comfortable. They have more pullback and are a bit wider than the stock bars, plus I was able to hide the wires inside.
