Post up a pic of the bike so we can see! Are you stuck on apes? You bikes sounds a little more old school styled and my first thought is a beach bar style...but let's see her and figure it out from there!

Good lookin bike!!
Could just get taller risers, unless u want a different lookin bar??
I kinda like the factory bars on urs, could get the wires ran internally to clean it up a bit!!

I guess I should of asked this earlier....
what don't you like about what you have now?
What are your trying to archive? Looks or comfort?
as far as handling taller bars only you can answer that question....

Lol I want different bars
These look cissified If nothing else new grips... I have small hands and I hate the ones that are on it.
After the first of the year I am having a custom seat made for it and a swing arm bag (though I am afraid I will tear that up since I already drag my floorboards)

... I hear ya! U can get some of the el cheapo vintage grips, they are smaller i guess. I just figured with the paint scheme u was goin for a Classic/simple look.
Those "Z" bars look good, think thats what Cheesecake has!

Good answer!
Apes it is then!
You might want to look around and sit on a few bikes with taller apes....
most of us don't mind letting someone of the opposite sex sit on our bikes... if you ask nicely
BTW they do make smaller (thinner) grips....

I'm about 6'1" and have my 16" ape waiting to go on. When i sit on the bike these will hit me just above the shoulders, I have a similar seat to yours also. You might want to sit on a few first because what feels good sitting there and actually riding are two different things. (just my 2 cents)
