I think I've narrowed it down to these 5 handlebar selections so I'd like some forum input from users.
When I'm in the riding position, I need the extra leg room my Tallboy seat and C&C Fastback allow, as they sit me back farther than the OEM seat which pushed me up on the tank too much, however, my arms run a little short in the touring position and I find myself having to "sit-up" to keep at least one hand on the handlebars.
I'm needing a bar to correct this and allow me to ride in a La-Z-boy style riding position and still reach the bars.
Which bar would allow the most comfort and look the best? I'm soooo confoosed....LOL!

I ride with the Khromewerks sweeper +2. They have a reasonable amount of pullback and feel much better than stock, especially on the wrist position. I can see these working for you if you are on a tallboy seat. If you are real tall then try before you buy.

PhilM was telling me about a place out in Cali that does some top-shelf custom work but I forgot the name. I think he said there was quite a wait but well worth it. Got a link to any place in particular?
