Couple Questions about Bars
Been pondering the idea of changing my bars out on my 2012 Street Glide. Little unsure on a couple of things and would like some opinions from others.
1st- I am 5'8"-9" tall with a 30" inseam. What size bars possibly??? I have been debating between 12" or 14".
2nd- What style bars? I have been debating between the regular style mini apes and the z bar style??
also if some of you could please post pics of each style and size. Would like to really see a side view and a view from the front if possible. Thank you all for your input.

12" MBB here. I'm 5'10". My advice is go taller than you think you want. I started out wanting 10s. Not that much more work to install and you'll be glad you did later. Either size you mentioned will work great for your height. Just know the actual rise (where your hands are) will differ (sometimes a lot) depending the brand of bar you purchase. Example: my 12" MBBs put my hands about 1 1/2" to 2" higher than my buddy's 13" HCC bars. His are a little wider though. If you can sit on a few bikes at a bike night or at a busy bar that might help you decide. Just make sure you ask the owner first.
