Default T Bars for Tall Guy on Wide Glide?

Need your guys ideas. I want to change up the look of my wide glide and put a set of t drag bars on it. I have 10" apes with 4" risers now and at 6'4" they are perfect. So what should I look for in a t bar? I'm thinking a 8-10" riser is what I need but don't want to go too high. The super tall t bars look stupid I think. Looking at this killer deal on eBay now.
I sat on a new wide glide and those drags felt very nice just would need them a but taller. What would match those ergos?

I think thats gonna look silly, I tried something like that on my WG and hated it. I tried 8 inch risers with drag bars and that looked sweet, just wasnt comfortable. Should have went for 8 inch risers with a 2 inch pull back. Im 6 foot with a long stretch. Ive got mini apes on now with a 2 inch rise.

The 10" will look bad? Will an 8 t will pull back look better? I might drop to a 2" riser and use my 10" mini apes yet. The 4" riser looks bad plus they are crooked too and hear t bars fix this issue with cheap risers. Thanks for your help! Oh and any idea where my front turn signals plug into on our 95s?

keep in mind it will change ur ride too...
I'm 6.2 and have 2 bad discs,, If I lean over my tank I can only ride for like 20 minutes and my back is killing me!
The higher I have my hands the straighter my back is, and the ride feels better.

I ride with the 12 inch now and they are ok, once I have the cash I'm goin higher.
My last bike had 14's and 1.5 risers and they were great!
JMO...

I have signal relocaters, so mine have a 2 piece mount that goes around my upper fork tubes, than they bolt on to them. Hard to see in my sig, but J&P and Dennis Kirk sell them. Probably get them on ebay as well. Good luck fellow WG'er.
