I've got WO576 14" Bagger Apes on my Limited/Street Glide. Love em, they take a little getting used to though.

After awhile, just like second nature.

Might try angling them back toward you just a tad.

14" santee bars here. The only thing I noticed was getting used to them with slow speeds. Other than that it was a huge improvement over the stockers.

I can't imagine apes being the issue, only magnifying an issue that was already there.

I put WO515s (10 inch)on my Road King Custom and like them a lot. Took a minute to get used to the fact that they are wider, but I think overall the bike handles much better vs the stock bars. Haven't had any instability at any speed. I used the one piece top clamp and changed to the poly riser bushings as well.
