Only two brands I like are Wild1 & Carlini. They both make HIGH END bars! Wild1 has 2 styles, the "Chubby" & "Psycho Chubby" series bars. While Carlini has 3 "Flyin' Apes", "Gangsters", & "Original Apes". Lots of guys run Gangsters & Chubby's. I am about to put 14" Chubby's on my Heritage... and I am only 5'10".

On your train, I think a set of Carlini Evil Apes would look **** bro. And you cant beat the quality of Carlini's. 2 cents

Carlini's are the best i've had as far as style and quality.
As far as height that all depends on where you like'em i'm 5' 10" and have 14"s and there perfect for me, but carlini's run a little tall.

Ive run both Wild 1's and Carlini's. They are both nice bars. Height is a very personal choice. I run 16"'s.
