What about Drag Apes?

I just did 9 1/2" risers with a 2" pullback. Still got my drags & got them fists in the air

IMO the mid apes are comfortable, still handle and look good,
don't like the really high ones.

Mini Apes. Tilted foward a bit. On a short riser. With a narrow bottom.

Wait...Thats what I like!!

You get what you like....I will say for big men any ape is more comfy than the drag bars.
