I am currently looking at the Dominator 14" Meat Hooks, that are already wired, with ABS and heated grips.

I’m 6’3”. 12” bars were too tall for my old shoulders, and I’m long waisted, thus tall in the saddle. Sometimes less is more, so I swapped to 10” KST six bends on my batwing.

PERFECT.

I think you would benefit from sitting on some bikes with different bars/heights to see what will work for you. The place that installed mine(Im 6'-2" 34 inseam) indicated 14" bars would work for me, on sat on a bike they had with 14" bars and the felt too tall for me. I went with 12" KST Pathfinder bars, they adjusted them for me before tightening everything down, that was about 14000 miles ago. I still find them really comfortable for me. Do your homework, I don't know about you but that's money on an upgrade that I only wanted to do once.
