Default need advice on handlebars

Hi, guys new to the forum and i wanted to get some advice about handlebars, so for starters i'm riding a 2011 FXDC. I'm 5'10... so here is where i am unsure i want TBars i was looking at 10in risers 30.5" width 8.5" center 8" pull back and 25 degree wrist angle. I don't know if anyone is running that setup and close to my height, i just don't want to reaching over my head and i have pretty long arm's nothing alien or anything lol but i dont know if they will be to high for me does anyone have and suggestions for me? or hopefully someone with a similar setup and one more thing the risers are a straight rise ..... Thanks

Just to give you some ideas, I am 6'1" so a little taller and these bars are 8" straight Tbars.

A grand seems to be the norm for quotes from anyone but small indy shops., if you are mechanically inclined it's not a difficult job, will just take time the first time you try it, but worth doing.
With pre-made extensions if you need them it really is just unplug, unbolt, assemble and ride away.
Plenty of good demos on here to show you how.

Try Rolling thunder in hempstead NY they are very good and have fixed all the blunders that the other places I went to did. Gerrad is a real nice guy and in my experence I have run into some real ******** in the NYC/LI area<-- dealers included. Be advised Hempstead is a real shithole so I would advise you to go early in the day.

Definitely worth doing yourself. It'll take a Saturday and a few beers. There's a few how-to threads you can search for on here.

There's also some threads on how to judge the best rise and pull back for you before you make a decision on what bars you want.
