Beach bars question
I have a bad back so I know how you feel. Both bars are comfortable but my issue with the asps was I felt like a sail catching all the wind on the highway. It killed my lower back. The beach bars are lower and I don't have that problem with them. If back pain is your issue the lower bars are the way to go.

I had the same thing going on, found myself leaning slightly forward. Put the narrow beach bars on over the winter with 4" pullbacks and my hand and wrist position was perfect for a long drive. The only problem was I did not like the looks of the beach bar so I removed it after a 3 mile drive. Now it's sitting around collecting dust.

How are the angles on your wrists? From what others have said it just tucks your elbows closer to your sides.

On a different bike the risers were so low and I had the angle turned down a bit, that if I took a sharp turn my elbows would hit my sides.
