Check out the KST Vanguard series of bars. They're 1.5" diameter 3 piece bars that allow you to adjust the wrist angle to whatever you want. Running wires on these bars is a dream. You'll have to be willing to drop about 400 clams though.

I always said I wouldn’t put apes on my ride, but couldn’t take the positioning any more. Mounted KST Mayhem, not as easy as two or three piece bars, but love the feel and comfort. I’ve never heard any one mention, but I noticed how much better my sound system is now that my hands are over and not in front of the speakers.

Not sure exactly what the wrist angle is that you are looking for. What I can tell you is that I have 14" Twin Peaks and there is almost no "wrist-angle". They really don't flare back towards the rider at all. Sometimes when I am hot-doggin around quick turns I scoot myself up on the seat to get more on top of them.

Yes the wrist angle is flatter on the twin peaks. That is part of why I chose them. I went with 12"s mostly because 10 wasn't quite the right spot. WIth the 10s you can probably keep your wiring and clutch cable unless you go internal wiring as I did. The stock won't be long enough for that.
