I put 16's on mine w/a 2" riser - wish I'd gone 18 though. Got mine from Custom Chrome and had them powder coated. Looking back, I might have gotten chubby's if they'd have worked. Here's a couple of o.k. pics of them - only decent ones I have w/me.

Wild One Chubby Bars.
Pre-drilled for internal wiring is a great feature as well. Braided cables to boot.
Mine are Wild One Chubby W502s 12.5" inch. Not apes but taller than the Heritage

Here's a link to their site

Stoneman, damn that bike looks good w/those apes! I wish I'd gone w/the chubby's and gone 18 instead of 16, but I don't see myself redoing it anytime soon. Love the look of your bike. Where are you in IL - my mom lives there still, and I try to get up and ride a couple times over the summer.
