Thanks, I've been talking to HD D'LUXE, actually PMing and he's been very helpful! Also, I haven't too long been off the phone with Keith in customer service at Burly Brand; he sounded very informative and told me he thought the 1.25" Bikini bars (Part # B28-320T) would work best in my case without pushing me to far back.
I don't think I mentioned it in my original post but I have lower back problems/injuries and after riding for 30 minutes or so switching positions and stretching my back is a given! The other thing I wanted to avoid is the bars hitting my legs when making sharp turns, but I guess that depends on how far you push them downward!

I forgot to mention ‘medina charlie’ also chimed in suggesting the Burly Bikini and he's close to my build.
But I don't think he has back trouble like me; at least I hope not!!!

Sweet lookin' bike dansax! If they're long enough for you then they should fit me fine I would think. Are those the piston risers? I've seen them online but can't remember who makes them.
Nevermind, I was thinking of Carlini piston risers.

My brother had to have surgery on his neck for a pinched nerve but they took bone from his hip. Since then Ive read where the cadaver bone works better, i.e. speeds up healing time.
Next time you have a family reunion let me know and Ill do the same here LOL

I debated the Burly Beach vs Bikini for a while too. I finally settled on 1.25 Bikinis:

Thanks for the pics H-D DAD, while I'm thinking about it; which cables did you have to replace due to the extra length of the bars or did you?
Today I dropped off my bike to have some V&H Big Shots Long installed, maybe next month I can have the handlebars switched.

The throttle cables come close to the tank when turning the bars to the right, but they don't touch.
The brake cable is a little long. It should be about 48" but that's all the Indy had in stock that day and I wanted to go ride!! I did the install myself.
