Default RE: New dumbass Bob question

I'm 6'-2" riding with forward controls, I rotated my mini apes forward to accomidate my height and love the ride. It took a couple of tries to get it right but once I did it was all good. I am thinking of trying drags for a change though. If any one has done so please let me know what you think.

I'm 5'9" and compared to what I'm used to riding the standard mid mounted controls ARE forward mounted. The mini apes are just too damn cool looking so they stay for now but some day if I run across some nice black beach bars I may have to give that a try.
