Sorry to call it pretty, but you know what I mean... I didn't like my drag bars either and switched them out. Much more comfy. I've never seen the pillion seat strap attached to the rear fender like that. Did you make the bracket? Sorry, I remember your original pictures, but not that detail.

My short stubby arms fit them just right and my wrists seem to like the angle just fine. Everybody has their own comfort fit.

Bot replaced the stock buckhorn handlebars on my bike with ones from an HD Dyna. What an improvement, both in the comfort, and in the handling (The bike almost thinks its way around the twisties now.). I have tried the Drag bars, and do not like them. If you are looking for a change, give the Dyna bars a try. (Stock cables and such work.)

I'm 6' tall so I found the original stock drag bar and risers a little too cramped for me. Taller risers and a broomstick dragbar made a perfect fit thought.

Cool things about bars is that right shape, height, width, etc. can make all the difference. For some who need just a slight chnage, rotating the bars can often do the trick.
