like others have said, we all come in different shapes and sizes, inseams and riding styles. A good one to try is the stock heritage or police bars (the dealer will know what your talking about). They are the best judge to determine what you want. They will set you back 40 smackers and no cable change. If you like that size and want to keep them your good. If you want a cleaner look, now you at least what size you like and can buy the 1-1/4" version. I was gonna get the fatty 14"s right off the bat but my buddy's old man talked me into the above mentiones bars just in case. I am glad I listened because after about 4-6 months I realized I wanted taller. at this point I was only out 40 bucks. I moved on to the 18" apes and love them to death. I am not out the origional 40 either. the police bars are on thier 4th bike as "test" bars for buddys. I rent them out for a 6pack. In fact, I may be making out on this deal.
p.s. I am 5'10" w/ 30"inseam and the 18" are perfect for me. still legal (w/ good posture) and great control. You may want a little lower, but thats up to you.
good luck

Wait, screw the email stuff. I'll post the pic for all to see if they too are considering 14" bars with 17" shields.
Here is my Road King with a 20" shield and 14" chubbys....The black line on the shield is a piece of electrical tape placed at the 17" mark. Click on the link below

If you are looking at Wild 1 Chubbys, check their website on the "blem page." I bought a pair from them that were blems and I would not have been able to find the blem without them marking it with a sharpie. Cost me $159 for the bars, a nice savings. Ride safe and enjoy.
