Road glide Handle bars

Any one have any suggestions for a set of more comfy handle bars for an 07 RG? Trying to avoid changing cables and lengthening wires. I'm 6'4' 250 lb and just feel that the stock bars are a little to much of a reach. Any Ideas appreciated...

I'm 6'4" too, and I put mini apes on mine, I love the way the bike fits me now. I did have to change cables though, and I routed the wires internally, but didn't have to lengthen them.

Wide Glide Will Work - But if you want CHUBBIES - Then go with Wild 1's Mini Apes (I did) Works & Looks Great & internal wiring - Used standard cables - but you may need to re-route & bend the ft master line a bit to follow the lines of the bars...

I've heard of people switching to a set of heritage classic bars also.
