Default Handlebars for '07 fat boy

Right now I am deployed to Afghanistan. I bought a fat boy while I was on leave and already dropped it 2". I'm 6'1" tall and am trying to decide between apes or beach bars. Any pictures or tips would be greatly appreciated. I've got awhile left over here, so I'll be agonizing over the decision for a while. Thanks in advance.

Chuck-
I feel ya brother. I was in your same situation six months ago. Same country, same bike, same question. I went with the Klock Werks Mentele bars. I'm 5'8" and have no problems, so I'm sure you'd be fine. Keep safe, I'll be back in 4 months for another tour. Next time it will be what bags to get!
