New bars coming
I've currently got the Biltwell High Drags. love the look but my last longer ride convinced me that I can do better as far as comfort. These are just a bit too low and too far forward. This forces me to lean into them, making my palms feel it a bit.
After much looking I decided to go with TC Bros Bootlegger bars

They should give just a bit more pullback and height without going to the point where my cables and such are going to be a problem (at least I believe they won't be...). Ordered from RevZilla, should see them before next weekend. I figure about 2 hours to swap them out.
Anyone tried these?

Once I got these in hand, couldn't feel the love. Didn't feel they were going to be comfortable so returned.
Also, found out my state has a ridiculous 15" above the seat handlebar law so future choices are severely limited. These would have been OK but only just, any higher (which I want) will be outside.

What didn't you like about them? We're they too high? My new Sporty has drag bars too, and with forward controls it's too far of a reach for me to be comfortable for long. I was planning to swap out for something closer to stock.

No, not too high, just a bit higher than what I have now. More the angle of the pullback, too much of a V shape for my taste, didn't care for the angle they would have put my wrists at.
