I've got to believe the Heritage bar would work for your height (Arm length). I am 5'10" and the heritage works for me. Make sure you get the chrome ones and not the stainless. Chrome looks better.

You might also check into the Reduced Reach bars. Several of us with RK's have had good luck with those.

If your that tall... You might want to look at 10" Apes Wild 1's WO515 http://www.wild1inc.com/handlebars.html
I'm 6'4" and have 8 1\2" Mini Apes on my '07 RG and kind of wish I went with the 10"
On My '01 RKC have WO508 they're ok but like the WO518's better (on my Son's '05 RK)

I'am 5'10" and have the RoadKing high bars, work great for me.
Go to your dealer and check out the bars on the Street Bob. I may
be wrong but I think those are the tallest bars on any of the stock HDs.
At least it will give you some idea of what you need.

I'm 6'2" with long arms. I really like the mini apes. Some room to stretch my arms - also keeps my wrists from being bent too much.

Beach bars. They look really cool and work well for tall people.
