6'4" - 12.5" bars. Did lower the bike and put a lower profile seat on the RKC, in addition to rocking the bars forward, making them feel taller. Comfortable around town or on long trips. Wish list - do like the look of the 16" Carlinis.

I may have missed it, but what what kind and size bars are those? They look very nice and comfy. Thanks in advance for your response.

I'm 6' 0" tall and run 14"bagger bars. The bars are rocked as far forward as possible. I have a C&C fastback seat which puts me about an inch lower than the stock seat. Here's a picture without the new seat.
I ran 16" Chubbies on my old Heritage with a Mustang seat. Very comfortable as well. No windshield and the bars were rocked forward.

They are 16 inch cycle smiths. They are very comfortable. I'm 5'9" with a Danny gray speedcradle and it puts the bars straight out in front of me. It's a very niceposition.

Only have 'em on the Wide Glide (stock mini-apes)...gotta be in line with the forks to look right. Wouldn't have 'em on my RKC, though. 5'9".

Agreed maybe a little more aggressive nature.

16" could have gone to 18"
These are KromeWerks
1.25" thick, same width as forks at base
With the leverage apes give it makes the bike feel much lighter than with stock bars (ie less effort to correct any sideways imbalance, especially when the lady jumps on)
