Default What Apes for m8 fatob?

Looking to change out the stock bars on my 18 fxfbs. What are yall going with here. Seems limited choices out there for the fatbob but as expensive as it is to switch I don't want to get it wrong. Looking at the todds cycle strip bars or the kst same 10"rise.
anyone using these? I'm 5'11" just for reference

If I had a Fatbob, which I looked at for awhile,I would probably go with 12, maybe 14” FXR Division bars. Give you some height, but still narrow. G series has some pullback, and the style is just different from most bars.

If you go to the 'The Everything Fat Bob' thread you will a few people who have changed over the bars.

I love them, so much more comfortable! Hard to explain, but having my arms up at shoulder height is perfect.
