I did risers for like 70 bux. Fixed me right

I loved my mini apes, but they didn't love me and my right arm and hand would hurt after a few miles so I got a set of HD's Bombay bars (PN=55835-05A, it might be 05B now). They are much lower and come back slightly farther. Bonus is it has an integrated tach housing, so I got a tach up where I can see it without having to take my eyes off the road like you do for a speedo/tach combo. If there is a down side to them its that they are NOT cheap. But you do get all the parts to mount a tach (just no tach or wires) so they will save you a bit of trouble in that you won;t have to bother trying to figure out which parts will fit then pay for them separately.

Here's a kind of before and after for comparison.

Brand new, the day I got it home.

After installing the bars, and several other winters mods.
And yes I know I forgot to take off the frame protectors for the pics, no I didn't ride it that way, well not more than once anyway.

What they and the tach look like from behind.

And the side.

The only real reason the tool bag is on the top like it is is because that's where I keep my E-ZPass for toll roads. It works fine up there but didn't always work properly when I had it below the headlight. Now that its been there a while I have gotten used to it and actually like it.
