While I agree they look better forward that just isnt a option for my short arms.

So I am just trying to decide if I like them pulled back better than some other bar options.

You will feel much improvement over stock. The stock bars position sucks azz. I let two of my friends ride my bike over the weekend and today they are ordering 10" bars.

When you get them set them to where you feel the best and enjoy them.

I tell people that when they are done playing around with the latest uncomfortable Fad bars, they should try a high quality comfortable bar.... like Wild1 12.5" apes with 12" of pullback. Talk about riding a couch...
