I switched my 6's for 8's at one point. It was a little more comfortable than the 6's. This is the only pic that I have though.

i love drags or mini-apes on night trains. 10" or shorter mini-apes. I just put 10" on my deluxe you can see in my avatar and that bike is such a blast to ride now. Its a nice comfortable ride and perfect for lane-splitting.

Yeah I went from stock to 8's, 9" Z Bars, and then to 14" apes. I like the apes the best I was just delaying changing out my cables and wires.

I love my drag bars. Very comfy! Though I do plan to put apes back on eventually. It's a toss up though as I love the feel of the drag bars.
