Default Apes to Drags

I've got a 2000 WG that came with 12" apes that're 35" wide. I'm not a tall guy...5'7"/200lbs and I find the apes are pretty comfy although riding at highway speeds is tiring as my arms are spread out pretty good and I'm leaning back already (don't like windshields). I love the look of pull back drag bars...something like 8" or so back...8" or so tall...1 1/4 thick...not sure what other measurements I need to consider. I guess I'd like to hear from some of you that have gone from apes to drags and what your thoughts are concerning riding position, comfort, handling difference, etc.

Thanks in advance!
