touring handlebars
I know there has been lots of threads about which bars to run on your bike. My question is is there anywhere I could look to compare most or all of the options? I need some handlebars that staighten out my wrist angle and brings the hands a little closer to me. I want my wrist angle to not be turned back like the stock bars but more staight like apes would be. I think the 2" pullbacks would be OK if it wasn't for the wrist angle.
thanks RB

Just switched over the the 575's, WOW what a HUGE diffrance for me. I did not think the stock bars were that bad intill i changed over to the 575's.
but as stated one size does not fit all. Depends on you and you style of riding and your seat play's a HUGE roll in it to.
hope this help

I ride a RG and looked at the popular options of installing Wide Glide and Heritage bars or Khromewerks Sweepers +2 bars.
I wanted the bars closer to me and all three were supposed to accomplish that. I also wanted a straighter wrist angle and the Sweeper bar had the straightest wrist angle so that is what I installed.
I have had the Sweepers for over a year and I am still extremely happy with them. I believe these bars are the best kept secret in the industry. Also, the price is better on these bars than most other bars out there.
I highly recommend these bars for you.

+1 on sweepers. Do a search on these. There are a couple very good comparison threads. They will accomplish exactly what you are looking for. They are slightly higher and closer plus the wrist angle is flat. I've had mine for 2 years and I still love them. Another plus is their price . . . around $75.
