Here’s a shot of the KW +2 sweepers on my 04 when I had it. I put them on my 08 as well. Very comfortable and straightens your wrists out.

I'm 6'2" with long arms and have 20" bars on my SG. They put my hands just a hair higher than my shoulders and are where I am most comfortable. I have ridden friends bikes with a lot of different bar heights and was comfortable from 14" on up to 22" all I can tell you is to try and find a bike with bars the height you want and ask to sit on it and see .

The Softails sit a bit lower in relation to the bars than on the Touring bikes. I think the 14" bars and a seat mod might be more in line with the setup you had on the Softail.

Many on here with your height also lower their ride to get more flat footed.

Yeah, just talked to the shop this morning. Ordered the 14" bars. Next is some 12" rear shocks and a lower seat. Just gotta make sure all the padding on the passenger seat stays the same, wife loves it lol.
