I like it, my arms are slightly down, and I lean forward a little more. I noticed the change in width more than the angle change.
I'll attach a newer pic showing the side... I have a riser that has some pullback, so the drags don't bend me in half like a clamshell so much with the forward controls.

Latest project, another '07...these bars came with the bike and I believe them to be the H-D drag bars. About 27-1/2"...

I also wanted to put a pr of 4 1/2" risers on, but...the Speedo wiring was just one measley inch from getting there, ..I am kinda glad now, it looks very nice like this, IMO. Not uncomfortable at all. Also, I have never done anything like this b4 either, .but, patience, youtube vids, and a little common sense, easy as pie in the eye. you pretty much will have to replace the grips, I almost had the left one off w/o damage, but it split just b4 I got it off...Carb cleaner works great in loosening the glue in there...but, be very careful NOT to get any in your eyes!!!! I ain't kiddin' either, u will be sorry if u do! I got mine from J&P, very nice bar, cheap cost also, got the bar and risers for less than $50.00 and they do not look cheap, at all. Got the new grips from the Harley shop, almost twice the cost of the the bar and risers....but, they do look nice.
