Ive got 20 inch wide bars on my chopper and they are comfortable and control the bike VERY well. I just went wider for the dyna since I wanted 1.25 inch T bars and most really narrow bars are either 7/8 or 1 inch. For reference, I am 6'1 and I find bars that are 1ish inches tall and 20 inches wide the most comfortable.
edit: just know that the steering will be MUCH more sensitive with narrow bars. I prefer it that way, but I also don't go much faster than 70 on my chopper... (it's quite slow)
