Default Road Glide Bars

Just thought I'd see what opinion people have on what bars to run on a RG. I just bought a 2013 and have had SG's in the past that I liked to run a 12" ape on. I am 6'4'' so I like to be a little more stretched out. Any suggestions???

I'm 5'7 and running 14" BR Customs bars. I like em alot. A little pricey, but worth it.

Where do you want your hands to be ??
Sit on your bike, close your eyes and hold your hands
where is most comfortable...
Take a good look in comparison to where your hands are
and where your stock bars are....
Have a friend help you with the measurements....

I'm going with a set of LA Choppers 16" Twin Peaks....
Hands about shoulder level, 36" end to end, with a 6" pullback.
Will be ditching these 'heritage style' bars shortly !!!

Dozens of choices out there, try not to lose any sleep deciding

Thanks for all the input! Has anyone seen the Sinister Hot Rod bars on one or is anyone running them?
