I have Khrome Werks +2 Sweepers on my Glide. I wish they came back another two inches but not really higher. I have these short arms and sore shoulders.... They measure 10.8 inches high with 7.8 inches pull back.
Are there apes that might help?

Not at all Ken , this is just a myth I think people only assume that they are hard to control in slow speed environment such as parking lots, and I tell you I am not even close to be considered an expert rider I'm a newb comparing to many riders here, and my 18's are like power steering in slow speed, I just love them, of course you need to know how to use the friction zone like with any other bars in slow speed situation..

hey Eric, I agree with you, Although I'm taller, 6'3" but I love these bars and after a little practice, the bars are not at all a problem at slow speeds, or in tight slow turns... no problems at all, not to mention no more back and nexk pain from the stock bars!

More comfort for me. I have 12" apes on my Road King. My Street Glide has stock bars on it. The stockers make my back hurt on a long ride. Really, 28 years in the Army made my back pretty much useless. Guess what the next project is. Apes on the Glide.
