This. I am tall and so I wanted the grips as high as possible. I pulled them back just a bit past being in a straight line with front forks. Grips are now parallel with the ground. Comfortable now. Wish the grips dropped a bit more at the tips but for the $$, this was the solution for me.

Get your local dealer to let you hold a set of "Wide Glide" bars next to your Heritage bars. The same height but a different wrist angle. Cables & wiring fit the same.

I think I will try the sweepers +2, order them and see what the wrist angle is like and send them back if no better than I have. I also like the 300044 also. Might try them too.Thanks to all.
