I have heritage style bars now, mostly happy except for wrist angle not quite right.
want to switch to 13 inch prime apes to get 1 1/4 bars and I like the look.
Anyone had both that can comment on comfort comparison?
I'm 6'1 and long arms.
I just swapped bars from Heritage to Prime Apes. Wrist angle is a little different, but I did not have a problem with the Heritage bars. I am 5'11". I rode about 250 miles Friday, (1st trip with new bars) I thought they were very comfortable.
Only minor issue I have is they are a little wider which makes it a little colder on the hands. I did install grip heaters, which I think are great.
I am 6'4" and they are very comfortable for me.. Switched from factory FLHX bars to them.. Combined with Performance Machine Contour XL grips, cruise control and highway pegs these bars are one of the best improvements I have made to my scoot.
