Carlini Flying Apes look to have the same basic shape as the KW +2. I've been toying with the idea of changing my KW also. Be warned, they are a little pricey.

Those are nice bars, but I don't think I am ready to drop that much coin on bars unless I have a chance to sit on a bike and test the fit first. Of course that goes for any of the bars, the last thing I need is a stack of bars to go with the windshield collection

You know, at first I didn't care for the stock bars on my RGU too, but after 3000 miles with them I now love them. It took some getting used to though, they really feel different than my Heritage bars did.

I am no longer happy with the reach of my KW+2's so I might be in the market for new bars as well.

Have you thought about calling KW and see if they could bend you some +2 in the 1 1/4 diameter? I would be interested in a set too if they did.

I think with most bars, you can move them forward or backward some without messing up the wrist angle too much. The OutlawZ felt real good but the 10" was shorter than I expected.

Shopping for bars. I am interested in the Outlawz. I wanted to go 10" though. When you compared them to stock, what was the difference in pullback. I only want to com up slightly and back a little. I prefer the wrist angle of apes also. I ran 16's on my RK and loved them. 10's arent really apes IMO, but I don't wish to have my bars up to high over the fairing, plus I worry about interference w/ the shield going lock to lock.
