Arrow Stock handlebar FLHX 2006

Hello,
Does anyone know what the stock handlebar size is of a Street Glide 2006?

I would like to mount a 12" handlebar without any adjustments.

Is that what is comfortable for you or are you being lazy and cheap? Do it right once

I just like the looks of the handlebar and I want it a little bit higher.

I believe the stock bars are 8" and going to the 12" would be an increase of 4" in height. Almost like the yellow one there, but just a little lower.

I just measured the handlebars so it's 8 1/2 inches.
I think I will not buy a 12 inch handlebar but a 10 inch handlebar

I have 12" on mine. Put my hands at the top of the fairing, but still mostly protected from the wind. !0" will be behind the fairing. Just to give you an idea of where they sit.

Just tested it, sitting on the bike the 10 inch will be good for me. I am not that tall, 5ft 10 inch.

The best deal ($$) out there is the Harley "Tallboy" bars. They are 10" I believe.
No addn'l wiring or cables needed. They still tuck your hands in behind the fairing,
and have less angle twd's you. Your hands are in a better posn.
