Crimson, the angle of the wrist on the batwings mini's from Harley is the exact reason I went with those bars. I had a compound double fracture on my right wrist in a motorcycle crash 7 years ago. Ended up with a titanium screw and plate in left in my wrist. The angle of the stock bars and a lot of other bars out there was really uncomfortable. I found these allow me to keep my wrist inline with my elbow and forearm. Real comfortable to for long rides.

I wanted these but you cant do them with the heated grips on the FLHTK, so I went with the Tallboy bars which are better than stock but still not apes.
