Which Apes to buy?!

Which Apes to buy?!
Hey I'm Rod, i'm new to the forum and just upgraded from a nightster to a street bob. I'm trying to figure out which ape hangers I want to buy. I had the roland sands vintage 12" on my sportster but I think they look too small on a street bob. I really like the look of Todd's Cycle chubby stripper bars but they don't come in 14" like I want. I'm only 5'7" and in ND bars can only be shoulder height. I am thinking about maybe the wild 1 outlawz in 14" but I really like the look of the Stripper bars. They have the z-bar look but they separate a little more at the top than the base.
Here's my old bike, finally had the cash to upgrade to a big boy.
Does anyone know of some bars that are similar to Todd's Chubby Stripper bars but in 14"
Here's where i'm at now and I need some big black apes!
Vance and Hines 2 into 2 big radius, screaming eagle heavy breather and forward controls

I went with santee 14s and 3.5 risers. They are 1.25" but taper near the controls and risers for stock controls and stock risers.
I am 5 foot 6" they are comfy comfy comfy. I have back issues and they allow me to stretch a bit instead of being crouched with straight bars or drags. I am a bit stretched out but for me it works great. I bout them knowing that I could always run them at 14" without the risers, but the risers make them super comfy for me.

If you liked the RSD bars, check out Road 6 Customs. I got their 14" bars on my LR and LOVE them. Got a 1" riser setup too. Great comfort, PRICE, customer service and turnaround. They offer bars only and complete kits which come with Burly brand cables and wiring extensions. I did mine internally. Bars come dimpled, predrilled, knurled.
Depending on finish you may have to wait for a flat PC. Mine came gloss black because I was too impatient.
