I just posted a reply in your other thread about apes too. I have the BRCustoms bars and they are first class all the way. TX Outlaw has some almost like the black set you posted here. Mine are the same except without the gussett piece. I've only heard TX Outlaw praise the bars too. They are pricey, but they are worth it! I've had so many compliments about the bars, it's unreal. I don't think you will regret the purchase. He will build the bars to your specs.
I agree with you about the Road 6 custom bars. In my opinion, they look very cheap. Like they are made out of bent scrap pipe in your yard or something. But on the other hand, they are cheap. It's been probably close to a year and a half since I got my apes. But if I remember right, It cost me around $500.00 for bars and all cables. I did the install myself. I used the black stainless braided brake line. And the rest of the cables were plain black so they wouldn't stand out. I wanted them to blend in with the bars.

(EDIT) If you go with bars like mine, get the 16 inch". That's measured from the top tip to the bottom. So that will put your hands to be probably around 14 inches. If you are wanting 14" apes.

Chop On,
