Khrome Werks 2+2 help

[Halfnormal]

I am 5'8" with T-Rex arms! I am trying to decipher the difference between each type of Khrome Werks 2+2 handlebars for my 2015. Yes, I have read the specs but that does not really help me understand which one will be the best for me. I am looking to be in a more natural position instead of leaning forward with shoulders hunched. I have a backrest and would like to be able to use it if possible. I do know that a wider bar will help with handling as well. The bars and installation are a birthday gift from my son and daughter-in-law. All suggestions and comments are welcome!

I just installed the Khrome Werks TwoPlusTwo Narrows a couple days ago. I'm about 5 8 myself. 2 inch higher than the stock bars and to 2 in. back. I can sit against the backrest and I feel very comfortable with my hands on the bars. I'm very happy with them. Wish I did this several years ago.

I'm 5' 8" and have the 2 plus 2 widesweepers and they are great. From what I remember the biggest difference is the angle that your wrist are positioned.

2+2 Narrow Sweepers

I installed the 2 + 2 Narrow Sweepers a couple years ago on my "14 TG. I couldn't be happier. After having the TG, from new, for a couple years I added the DK Customs 2" rear lift and thought I couldn't improve handling and ease any more. I proved myself wrong when I installed the KW 2 + 2 narrow sweepers. Bringing the control of the trike up and back by 2" was another dramatic increase in comfort and feel of handling. I chose the narrow sweepers because of the pull-back feel of the grip angle. After all, why bring them up and back if you have to stick your elbows out in the wind? I'm 76 YO, about 5'9", use a HD Hammock seat and the HD adjustable backrest. Ride Safe!

I put the narrow ones on a month ago. I'm 5'-8" and they made a distinct difference. I can more comfortably lean against the backrest.

Besides leaning over with the stock bars, the width made turning a real 'stretch'.

Solution!

While doing my research, I was actually routed back to TrikeTalk by search engines for reviews and information on the 2+2 bars.

Search Hint

The local search is cumbersome so if you do a search in a search engine like this, triketalk.com: khrome werks 2+2, it will search only triketalk.

Here are the two threads that were able to answer my questions. Thanks to everyone who contributed!

Spoiler alert! I went with the Narrow Sweepers PN/300519

Can you report back in once you have them all set up? Thinking of the same and would be interested in your results.

Will do.

The bars are on and it is the best addition so far. Much more comfortable position and makes steering a breeze. The dealer charged $495.00 (3 hours) for installation.

Wow, thats a great price on the installation, especially from a dealer. I ended up installing them myself as the dealer in Meridian wanted "$1400 to $1500) to install them, but I would have had to buy the bars from them or they wouldn't put them on.

I forgot to add that when the dealer was installing the bars they called because the tech was concerned that the bars were coming back and not up! I explained that is why I picked those bars to be installed. :Shrug:
