Switching to "mini apes" from factory bars was one of the best mods I've done to my bike.
No longer riding like a hunchback, much more relaxed and natural feeling. Git-r-dun.

My Mini apes love me and I love them back...

I keep them clean and shiny and they ensure my shoulders and neck are pain free.

I had an 07 Street Bob with the mini apes on it and I found them fairly comfortable. The odd wrist angle took a little getting used to though.
