Over the years I have had bikes with clip-ons, drag bars, beach bars and apes. Each has its detractors, but for cruising and comfort, The Heritage style bars have to be some of the best.
I am 6 feet tall,long legs,arms and torso. I was not comfortable on my deluxe stock. So I put on highway pegs,and 16" apes. Made the long trips so much better. No more twisting around being uncomfortable.
