Thank you guys for sharing your experience with the dragbars, as some of you mentioned it looks like it is an easy swap and for me this is a huge upgrade on the bike looks so I'm going to proceed and order them. It might take a while but I'll upload some pictures as soon as I make the swap on my bike. Ride safe guys.
I know you've already made your mind up, but for what it's worth I swapped to drag bars and love them. I'm 5'-7" so a bit shorter than you but I've not had any comfort issues.
I run the flat drag bars on an Iron 883 and just did a 300 mile ride on Presidents Day. I didn't have any discomfort at all until about 260 miles in. The last 40 miles home weren't painful, but I was starting to feel ready to be off the bike.
