Not sure how high you're looking at going with your bars, but I got my mini-apes (10" rise + 2-1/4" risers x 1-1/2" dia.) made from BRs Custom Bars. He will make any type of bar you can imagine. He's not cheap or fast, but the quality is top notch.

Here's a couple shots on mine...

I love the look of those apes. I think I want to go a couple of inches higher though. Thanks for the pics!

The Todd's Cycle Fat Bob bars look perfect IMO.

Eric they are 12" bars, and 1.25 in diameter. I went from stock drag style bars to these. Didn't know about size from 10"-14" . I figured start with 12" . I have only driven around the my blocks to see how they are. Feels different, for obvious reasons, but good. I love the look.

I'm a huge fan of apes but I don't think the Fatbob is a good candidate. It's a fat bike and t-bars/drag bars just compliment the lines. Maybe something on the lines of the HD street sweepers or similar.
