Which bars should I keep?
The purple ones with the pink grips unless they aren't an option in
which in that case I personally prefer the apes.
But I'm not the one that is gonna be riding it so you should choose the ones that feel the most
comfortable to you because they are two completely different riding styles.

I wanted t-bars the entire time I was looking for a bike now I get them and not so sure. I don't think I can go any higher either. The seat is pretty low and I'm at shoulder level. Thanks for the opinions that's what I wanted just to hear what everyone likes.
For whatever reason I like the look of the apes on the heritage and fatboy. I like the larger headlight apes combo. I just bought this light, don't think a 7" would look right with my narrow forks though

I am in the process of putting street bob apes on my low rider right now. I debated back and forth between apes and drags too. For months. I had both mocked up on the bike, and while I actually think the drags (2-piece, not t bars) look a little better, the apes are far more comfortable and natural feeling. The bike looks good either way, I say go with the ones that feel the best to you, unless it's a bar hopper then screw it, go with the ones you think look the coolest.

Drag bars. I would say apes but a different style of apes. But it's all up to you ,whichever is comfortable.

Pete can you post a pic of what you had and ended with for bars if you have any? I'm not making much progress. Just keep staring at it. I definitely don't like the 1" bars I had but they'd have to make due until I can sell the tbars if I go that route.
