Default '18 Low Rider, HD Street Slammer Handlebars

Thinking about these for my FXLR. I need something where my wrists are straighter than the stock bars allow, after riding for a couple hours my right thumb starts to tingle to the point where it's a bit difficult hitting the turn signal. Could be an age thing but I won't admit to that. Yet. Does anybody have these? Just looking for thoughts on them and am open to other recommendations. FWIW I had LA Chopper Z bars on my '01 Deuce and loved 'em but I tried for days to wire them internally and gave up. I'm really not into apes but would consider something no more than shoulder high. Thanks!

These, Bitwell
These are the mid rise ones, you can put them on a 4 or 6 inch riser.

Hey buddy, thanks for that link! Been traveling over Christmas and haven't had a chance to get online. That was his one and only post but if I install those bars it saved me a bunch of coin or the hassle of returns. I would have ordered the wire harness extensions, longer brake lines and clutch cable. He said they worked fine with the stock stuff so I'll give that a shot first.

Hey, that is a good lookin' bike! I spent time at my dealer last week sitting on different bikes with different bars and decided that about a shoulder high mini ape fit me best. I ordered a set of these, supposed to be here Monday. Then the installation fun begins. They're 10", I love the looks of those 14" bars but that's a tad too radical for me.
