Ape hangers
Unlss you want to go higher, the OEM mini-apes from Street Bobs are a good place to start - you should be able to pick some up for cheap - Stainless steel, internal wiring etc. I like mine, comfortable etc though most people change them...

Some people like taller/shorter bars so they change them and sell them. Usually pretty inexpensive.

Burly has a complete kit with bars, cables and wire extensions, takes the guess work right out of everything for ya. Im leaning that way, but 2>4 made me take a look at the Bitwell and don't forget Road 6 Customs, they have 12" kits too, not sure if thats your style of bar.

Wiring was long enough for the 16" bars pictured. As far as cables and brakeline goes, here's my setup:
16" LA Choppers Twin Peaks handlbars
1.5" chrome risers
Barnett +8" SS throttle/idle cables
Barnett +6" SS clutch cable
Barnett 49" SS brake line (OEM length)

14" Santee apes
Mine are 14" Santee apes with 2" integrated riser on my 2008 Street bob. I am 6'0" and my hands sit just above shoulder height with the stock seat. They are awesome! Very easy to internally wire as they come with strings run through them and you just attach the wires with tape and slowly feed through! Did the whole install myself...
