Not looking to put real tall ones on, only with about 10-11 inch rise. I have heard real talls ones can make your hands fall asleep on long rides, don't want that.

I've heard that also, sure don't want that kind of problem either, that's why I want to go with the Fat Mini-Apes. I think that it might be a happy medium. Hopefully it will get the job done and give me the desired look that I want. Now for the wait.

I have a friend that on long rides he lowers the bars by bringing them back a bit then when he gets to where he is going he puts them back up.

That would be a real good way to take care of the arm thing. They do have an interesting effect on the looks of a bike, kind of like old school look.
