Cant vouch for a trike BUT going to the yaffe bars made steering better and the ride ALOT better, you would be really surprised at how much discomfort the stock bars cause its like trying to ride your bike pushing a wheel barrel instead of having proper wrist position

I'm an ape hanger fan, have them on my Heritage. On my trike, I have Krome Werks 2+2 Wide Sweepers; makes steering much easier. Being wider, they give more leverage

I have a messed up right shoulder. The one time I tried riding a bike with apes I almost crashed in the first right hand turn because I was in so much pain.

I'm not saying Ape Hangers are bad. They are a very personal decision and the only way to find out if they are for you is for you to try them.
