I have a street bob so i cant help with how they look but I have the 12 inch high wild 1 chubby outlawz and I can tell you they are some of the most comfortable , best looking and best handling bars I have ever used in many years of riding. They fit me perfect. Dutchbob had 10 inch outlawz on his bike .. that is why I put the quote above.
Same here! 12" wilds 1 outlaws are my fav mod so far!

I've got the old Wide Glide 10" or 10-1/2" or whatever they are ... on a set of 3" offset dog-bone risers ...
I powdercoated the bars and drilled them for internal wiring ... had the risers cut down 5/8" to fit my application ...
The bars were a great improvement over my stock Super Glide setup ... a lot less pain in the upper shoulders / neck ...
... originally, I really wanted to get some brass risers like these ... but, they're quite a bit more pricey than the chrome ones I got ...

I started out with 12" Outlawz and they were very comfortable (I'm 6', so the hight wasn't an issue), but I didn't like the way they handled so I switched to 10" and those 2 inches made a lot of difference. Ofcourse, this is personal, others may find the 12" (or higher) better for handling.
I always liked the feeling of a straight hand position like you get with dragbars but also wanted some rise and the possibility to adjust the pullback/reach.
Because of those #$%#! integrated risers on the newer Street Bobs, the shape of the Outlawz was the perfect solution for me.
Did a lot of (twisty) miles with those bars and still love them.

I am 6'0" 185lbs and now the mirrors dont look at my shoulder. I used to flip em when I was an XL, but now I am keeping it.
Austin just had a ratrod rally and I got stuck in the line up while taking my wife for dinner/test ride. it rides a little different but I got used to it after 30 min of stop and go, now I am used to the handling and it is second nature.
these are my first apes and I say go for it. I would never need 16's or anything like that, but I could forsee myself with 12's.
I have fwd controls, but I still feel like I need highway pegs to accompany the apes. that position just feels right.
and my first ape accel onto highway was controlled, but was also like WOW.
lovin my Dyna!!! and I admire your Sedona orange too.
post em when you get em.
