In the same boat with my Fatbob...still looking for the answer. Like the feel and look of apes but I like the control of drags, especially in the canyons. Same with my mid controls. Forwards feel so good, but mids keep me planted in sharp turns better. I gotta keep up with my wife's Ducati...

My bike is an 06 and has the stock 10 mini apes on them right now. I dont mind how it rides except on long rides my ring finger and pinky on both hands go numb. Right now with these bars when I ride my elbows are at about a 90 degree angle, im thinking stretching my arms out either up or down will help with my fingers going numb hopefully. I actually ordered a T bar this winter but decided I like the looks of the riser and bar separate.

I had t bars on my 07 Wige Glide and just changed to 14" apes for comfort. I liked the looks of the t bars but I had such a pinch in my neck after a few hours of riding, the apes have seemed to work. It will be a while longer before I know for sure.

I just went through the same thing with my 98 lowrider. I wanted apes at first but liked the feel of drag/T-bars. I compromised with Wild1 Outlawz, with the minimal pullback they feel like 12/14 Tbars but have a unique ape-look to them. I went with 10" on 3.5 riser for a around 14" top to bottom and I love them. her are some pics....
