Roland sands has a nice line and so does bukybars and carlini. Actually lots of choices (endless) from all kinds of vendors. Strongly suggest you find someplace that has a rig set up where you can feel them set up. I went through lots of anxiety after selecting mine because i rushed into it and didn't actually experience/feel them on my bike or a facsimile, first. For pricing, Dr. V-twin has gotten rave reviews on the forum for service and pricing. they are a sponsor here. Good luck.

I put Wild ! 12.5 inch Chubby bars on my Fatboy last winter. Now the Factory Mini Apes on the SB just look funny to me. I didn't want the wide look of the Wild 1 bars on the SB so I am waiting a set of LA Choppers 12 inch Nice Curves.

Both are 1.25 inch bars and look way better internally wired.

I went with 16" narrow burleys, 12" is`nt much higher than stock, course i don`t know how tall you are.
It`s whats the most comfortable for you, they`ll all look good on a bob
