RE: DRAG BARS OR APES?
I like the looks of both but for comfort flat track bars rule.I've had rice burners with superbike bars just a bit higher than drag bars but much more comfortable than "clip-ons" or drag bars but only really comfy at about 80.My SV now hs MX bars which are more comfortable at low speeds less so on the freeway.My bob had mini apes but I found that after a short time my right hand started going numb.I switched those out for Flanders wide flat track bars and I couldn't be happier.

if you can't make up your mind buy both, cut them in half and weld them together.... than your left hand could have apes and your right hand could be drag. just make sure your only seen from one side

Do the apes and you have the hot new thing - STREET BOB!
Oh yeah, you have to paint it flat black too.

FrankV - I'm 6'0" and have a set of low cafe bars, they have no pull back to the risers or bars and they're perfect for me but I do have long arms, if you go with drag bars you might want to install pull-back risers.
Also make sure the that directionals don't hit the tank if you haven't relocated them.
