there's a number of things going on with the bars, charlie...
the look, the feel, the leverage applied to steering, and interference with yer knees, (if pedal equipped), and rider stance.
there's a number of different ways to deal with it.... size, mounting position, and height and length.
I would definitely tack-weld scraps together for handlebar testing, before making a final decision!
I like apes for feel and comfort.
and I could NOT use BTR bars at all. Period! Just wouldn't work for me.
the old, classic styled, swept back, jumbo beach-cruiser styled bars are dandy for walking speed pedaling along the beach-front promenade, but IMO, a nightmare when you get moving at a fast clip. They put the rider in the perfect 'perched -forward - launch - upon - impact position.
IMO...
Every one's got their own! lol
Good luck!
