I am in the process of installing a set of Khromewerks 16's on my Road King. Going to be doing the wiring tomorrow. I'm 6'6" so the 16's are perfect for me. My buddy has the same bars on his RK and I love the feel and look.

Don't install fairing mirrors if you're going with 12" bars as they will block the view once your controls are mounted on the bars. You'll need 14's to clear the fairing mirrors.

KST Kustoms in Bremen GA has a set up that will drop your fairing mirrors by a few inches.

I'm 6'2" and have 12" LA Choppers on my '13 Street Glide. Much improved riding position. No cable changes needed.

These are 10” LA Choppers “Twin Peaks”, I’m approximately 6’. I love how clean these look when internally wired. They’re also very close to stock width. If you like the looks of the bikes above (and they look great) I think I would go with Meat Hooks. They’re a little over 34” tip to tip. Stock is around 33”. Going too wide will restrict your slow maneuverability.

I've got an 08 RK and am trying to get the fit right for me. Am waiting for my Mustang super touring seat to arrive and then will be ordering bars. Someone else on here suggested 16" because I am 6'6" as well. Would love to see some pics once you get your bars installed.

Thank you
