I had one with the drag bars. I wouldn't have liked them when I was young.
Got one with the Buckhorn bars.. They felt Right.
Since they are stock on several years, cables for them are available.

Bump. Does anyone know of those 8 inch apes will fit without extending cables?

Thank you for the insight and picture. It helps out a lot. I am going to do forward controls first, and then go from there and see what kind of bars would render the most comfort position. I did a 1 hour ride and my legs were the most uncomfortable, so one problem at a time.

When I think buckhorns, I think of bars with a significant curve right before the grips. Sort of how a buck's horn has that curve to it, hence the name. I do agree, they are similar to "mini-apes".  A lot of people hate the angling of the grips though.

The picture you posted looks like a hybrid between "classic" styled bars and z bars. The top angle of the grips is very much a Z bar angle, and the bottom has that classic curve to it. I had some Z bars on  two Sportsters before. Not my style anymore, but they used to be very popular.

I agree 100%. The grip angle makes it very hard to turn in the corners. I had a sportster with  8 over forks and "rabbit ears" handlebars which have the most aggressive grip angle of any bars. I could barely turn into a parking lot. It was fun going straight though.
