I put on Twin Peaks because I preferred the wrist angle. The aren't turned in and are a bit more straight on grip.

I would recommend also considering a rider backrest if you can. Makes a big difference.

I let a guy do that a couple years ago off this forum . He appeared to like them but I never heard if he put them on. Post up your location and hopefully someone close will help you out.

I’m 6’ and put the twin peaks 10” on my ultra. Love the look and handling. Road the season with them positioned like in the pic but found a bit of shoulder discomfort and found it better if I moved my hands about 2” closer to me. So I’ll move them in the spring and test it out. Moving them back will lower them so perhaps I should have gone with the 12s but the 10s didn’t require clutch cable or brake line change.
Btw awesome colour Skyflyer!
