Not sure what / where your comfort zone is.
Set on your bike and close your eyes, then put your
arms and hands where they feel comfortable.
Have someone measure the height, width, and pullback.
Take those numbers and find the bars that come closest ....

Both of those you listed are narrow. I don't think 2 1/4 difference in width is going to make a difference (that's 1 1/8 wider on each side -- barely noticeable). My softail apes are 34" and 40" wide and after a few minutes of riding when switching bikes I really don't notice a big difference. SJ Ron
