Crossbones with 16s
Its looking like its gonna be 14s for me. This is good because the selection of 14s is a little slimmer. Hill Country makes some, so I will probably go with their bars, I won't get their cable though, I have heard some negative on them as of late

on my bones im 5'6'' i have the road6customs 16'' apes off of ebay and i love them. with my sprung seat ther are right around my shoulders when i take the seat off and just ride on the pan the are about eye level or so mayb a smidge higher. i truely recommend the 16'' you won't regret it but you can always get risers to make them higher i just don't like that look imo.

heres my .o2
i have 16's w/ 4" riser
im 5'11 they are comfy wish they were a tad lower
on highway 70mph or more after 25-35 minutes it can be uncomfortable
around town all day no prob, your hand could get numb after long period of time
thats what the cruize is for though,last but not least bnr custom bars are great
overall i luv my bars and wouldn't change em good luck

Think the apes were 1" diameter 16" Burly narrow apes internally wired.
Been looking at both the new Fat Boy Lo and the X bones..the Lo costs more but looking at them both just seems you get more for your $ with the X bones.. but beyond that I prefer the X bones Bobber look to the Lo...
