I had the H5 but I know what you're talking about.I liked them allot better than the original mini apes on my street bob and the Santee mini apes I have now.I know, why do I have apes now? Long story, basically I went with looks over comfort.I thought the apes looked better with the seat and back rest I have now.In any case the bars in my sig pic are Flanders flat track bars and I liked them allot.I think you'll find the wide width will make the steering feel lighter and the lower height will be more comfortable at speed.
I lost some of the low speed handling with the taller risers, but my hand/wrist alignment is way way better than the buckhorns that I had.

I must be blind. When I click on the link, I don't see any specs other than the wall thickness of the bar.

Any thoughts guys on how the H5 would look over a narrow glide? Or do we think the G5 might be better?
I can't stand it when the base of the bar over-hangs the trees before they bend up. The guy I bought my 2005 FXDL from had Wide Glide 12" apes put on it and they drive me nuts.

This is me trying to quote SPECIAL ED and learning how to use all the functions on this forum. Sorry guys, computers and I don't always see eye to eye.

Aha! That's a good point, I didn't even think about that. I've got real long arms so I'll look for a wider bar. Thanks man!
