Handle bars

How do you prefer your handle bars pulled back or more upright.

Pulled back. I ride in general longer distances (80 miles+ per day) and with a backrest seat I like to ride comfortable. Like to apply a Touring handlebar actually..

When sitting on the seat the bars have to be positioned so that it does not fatigue my shoulders or back.Otherwise the rides get old fast.

I like to have the bars parallel to the front forks.

I like them where they're comfortable and that means pulled back. I think they look better in line with the forks but until I get new bars I'll take comfort over looks.

Traded my standard mini-apes on the heritage for wide beach bars, much more comfortable

I am a shorter guy. I went with 2 inch pull back bars. The went to 12inch Monkey Bars. The MB are a lot more comfortable. I am more confident with the MB.
