Bars with less angle on grips
 
Hey all. Looking to up grade my bars. However I really want to get the comfort right over the looks. I am a taller rider at 6' 2". I sit high so I definitely want taller bars but not going crazy 12-14 inch apes should be good. My real issue is wrist angle, the stock bars bend my wrists too far out. I need bars with a flatter wrist angle. Probably similar to what drag bars would give you. Anyone have a suggestion on apes with less wrist angle? Thanks.

May I recommend taking a look at this LINK on the "Comfort Triangle"?

It may save you some time on multiple swaps outs of handlebars, looking for the "right" ones.
