After extensive research, the LA Choppers Twin Peaks are the most ergonomicaly correct bars for wrist angle and hand position that I have found. The only reason I chose a different bar is because I couldn't get the height I wanted in them.
Best of luck with your decision. Research and the research some more. You wanna get it right the first time.

We sell both the Paul Yaffe Bagger Nation Bars and LA Choppers. If you like the look everyone is liking from Yaffe and want to look a better price point check out LA Choppers Prime Apes. Here's some pics of the 10" below. Have to check on the 10" but I know I have 13" in stock. Could save you about $100



Let me know if you have any questions, or if you want a set.

I just changed out the WO577 for the batwing apes they look and feel great hand are just above the fairing and only paid 360 for bars and cables (+6 Magnum shielding cables )

I guess I'm too old to appreciate the look of handlebars above the fairing. Just looks stupid in my opinion and doesn't make sense to me.

Mike5511.... I gotta agree and im not old.... Im 31 and all my buddies have these high apes. I hate the look of bars above the fairing. These guys all say they are comfortable. I guess its all preference. I guess thats why i am on a street glide and they are all riding road glides tho too.
