Maybe you could mount them below the top yoke to make them lower, if there is space?

they look good compared to standard so that fulfills 1 of your requirements :thumbup:

they look to be higher where they mount to the forks, but have a steeper angle downwards .... so do you think your hands are back in the same place or still higher than normal?

I ended up putting later model Storm bars on and it's surprising how much of a difference the small 5 degree lift makes. When put side by side with the old bars, I would say they are about 1/2 inch higher at bar ends.

AS Steve6088 said, try mounting them below the top yoke.
