Default Most Comfortable Handlebars ???

Just wondering what different people suggest for a super comfortable handlebarfor long rides, on a RK Classic. I am not real impressed with the stock handlebars as far as comfort goes. I am 6' and have a Sundowner installed.

It depends on the rider heigth and reach and seat, but you are probably going to get a lot of Chubby responses.

No one person can say acrosss the board which is most comfortable. Comfortis relative to thestyle of the bars and your body structure. I know what I find comfortable for me when it comes to seat and handlebar choices...but they might not be comfortable for you.

I have the same bike and seat and have been going round and round on this myself. I think I've settled on the RK High Handlebars. The only thing I wish is that they were pre-drilled for internal wires. Hopefully these bars will be the right choice.

I agree it is a personal choice, I changed to the stock wide glide bars at first and had the wires run inside but after about a year and a half of riding they broke where the stealer drilled the hole for the wires. Now I have the Chubby bagger apes and love them too.

I'm aware that it is personal preference and that everyone is different.I was just looking for a few directions to look into and I appreciate all the information that everyone offered.
