Thanks for the information! I'm tall with broad shoulders and long arms. I've already moved the seat back a couple of inches, just have to get the bars away from me a little bit and get a more flat wrist bend. Still leaning towards the six bend bars. Thanks!

I have considered heating a pair of bars and bending them to the bend I like, I just have all chrome and don't want to chip the chrome with the heat and bend. Wish I could buy bare metal bars somewhere that were close and I could finish the bend to make it perfect.

If you want to do your own surgery, get the bars the way you want them to be and have the bars rechromed. You can call around or several have used ***** Shiny out in SoCal. You can call if they just do rechrome for you.
Another option are these adjustable bars by HeliBars. They're pricey but you can adjust them however you like, and often.

@TheCoot00 I will second the LA Choppers Twin peaks mentioned previously. Flat wrist angle and not much pullback.

Thanks Brandon!! Wasn't sure how to make it work like everyone else did it!! All good now and still looking at the Twin Peaks bars. I like the bend on them, I just hate the pointy ends on the bars. Trying to find something with a more traditional "ape hanger" bend at the top.
You want:
- Taller than stock
- Flat/straighter wrist angle
- Round top bend
