I didn't know about that - good option if you have the opportunity.

I actually really like the HD Reach bar hand angle. A lot of guys seem to feel that your hand has to always sit on the grip at a right angle, which isn't how this bar works. Having to do it over again the only reason I'd maybe look at something else would be to have them completely internally wired as the Reach bars operate like stock bars with some of the wire clipped to the underside. They are chrome which is nice unlike stock bars that are polished (at least on the '09-'13. IDK about the '14+)

What style do you want? Apes? Same style but just up and back? Wild 1 Chubby's are about $200, are 1 1/4" in dia. and have lots of styles. I went with the WO575 which is the same style as OEM but up 2", back 2" and out 1".
Good luck....

10" la choppers twin peaks did the trick for me. I'd post a pic if I could figure it out...

I was really close to ordering a set of Klock Werks ergo bars - my biggest discomfort when riding these days is my shoulder. It absolutely kills me after riding, I believe because I'm leaning forward too much. I'm around 5'9" just for reference. Now that I see you mention wrist position - by having a flat wrist angle, what do you mean by that? If my shoulder feels ok, I could see my wrists giving me problems due to bad positioning, as I am also a hairstylist and wrist discomfort sometimes happens LOL. I looked at some of the chrome werks- so those would have a similar pullback type style, to help me not have to lean forward to reach the bars? Thanks in advance for any additional input

Had 14" Wild Ones one my Limitd. At 6'2, they were by far the most comfortable bars I've ever had.

Your bars are adjustable and the grips can be moved towards you by simply adjusting the bars at the clamps. As they move you will also find the grip angle changes a little, which in my case gave me a further improvement in comfort. Only costs a little time to make an adjustment - I had several attempts to get mine 'just so' and have been happy for years now.
