Default Road King Special Handlebar Suggestion

Hi, I just bought a Road King Special and after 1000 miles on it, I can tell that my handlebars are too low for my riding position. I'm 5'9", 32" inseam. Anyway I'm looking at either the Factory 47 Malo 14" or the Vicla 16" (They don't make 14"). Anyone have any experience with these bars on the Road King Special? I like the fact that they are 1.5". My main concern is that I don't want to go too high with them. How much raise will each actually give me over the stock 12" Mini Aps?

Thanks looks great. You have more photos? Did you need to get cable extensions and if so, which ones did you get?

here’s some examples to give you an idea on how tall and wide they are

no brake or hydraulic extension needed but the left turn signal wires need to extend. I wouldn’t buy an extension kit if I did it again but would spice in the extension. You’ll also need a step clamp for the handlebar
