Smile Bagger Bars?

What are the best bars to put on a bagger? Not interested in apes?

I'm partial to Khromewerks sweepers. There are also Wild One 575's

I ordered Klock Werks Ergos. They were pretty expensive. But I like the feel of the bend in them. they will be going on the bike later this winter.

all depends on what fits YOU... makes you more comfortable.
Are you asking because you want the bike to "look cool" or? are you addressing a particular problem you're finding with your bike?
Do you need the bars closer? farther? higher? lower? wider? narrower?

I'm real happy with my Wild 1 575's. A little further up and back over stock.

Depends on what you're looking for but I ran RK highbars on mine for years and probably switch back to em. Treid mini apes but I think I like the highbars better.

I went with the Chubby 518's on my bike. I'm 6' and they have just the right amount of pullback for me. Very comfortable bars.

I went with the Wild 1s WO 575

A lot more comfortable than stock
a little more Pullback (no more leaning forward)
and a lot wider (way better at handling the bike).

I looked at those how do they feel, are you wrists in a more comfortable position? I need something a little higher than stock and would like a more comfortable wrist position.
