See? Now that even looks comfortable. As far as I know, because of the type of triple trees that are on my bike, I don't think there are any pullback risers that will fit my particular year/ model. '09 fxdb dyna street bob

I wanted to get curved pullback risers and drag bars to drop my hands down some, try to alleviate the hand numbness.

Nice choice! I went a little more tradional with the Wild 1's WO612 Outlawz apes.... 12" high, 8.5" pull back, 33" wide. I have to watch it for interference from going too high, as my fairing doesn't move..

I went with 12's. They are comfortable, I rode a friends bike with the same bars. I've see RGs with insanely high bars. Just took away from the look of the bike.

I can get away with adding apes on mine because I can remove the fairing. On a RG, they look kinda silly.

I don't have to reach particularly far for the bars, and with the highway pegs, I can ride in several positions (higher, lower, laid back, or more upright aggressive) so, if you've never had apes, I would suggest taking out a friends ride that has apes, and see if it doesnt happen to you before plunking down big cash and reconfiguring your whole front wiring setup for something that looks good....just sayin'...
If your arms are straight and you have to reach for your grips, that is probably a major source of the numbness. Went from the stock short reach bars on mine to bikini beach with a lot more pull back to relax my arm position and it worked wonders.

On my Street Glide I am going with Klockwerks Ergo Back bars. They are back and up some compared to the stock bars.

On my Street Bob I still run the factory mini apes and they suit me well.
