Default What type of ape hangers for FLTRXS

I'm looking at various handle bar makers any recommendations on ape style handle bars for 2015 Road Glide Special?

I am looking at the Road 6 Customs "naked" bars. The 13" bars require no cable or wiring changes and the price is right too.

Thanks for all the input. I'm leaning towards the La Choppers at the moment. Sweet bike! Womack. One other thing how does the bike handle at slow speed with these types of bars?

I bought 1.5 inch BR's custom bars. Fantastic bars but be prepared to wait, they took 8 weeks to get. Mine are 12", wish I would have gone 13 since I now know they fit with the stock cables. Live and learn.

Those both look bigger than just 13"s. But they look great. I'm in the same boat, looking for something better than stock, but not wanting to change the brake/clutch lines. My issue with the RG is that I'm 6'5", so I'd like a little bit taller bar, but not so close to me that my elbows are still bent at my side. I'd like a set that is curled away from me, to get some extension. But the RG fairing doesn't play well with bars for long arms
