Wow 6'7" lol I with beach bars bad combo! I say some 16+ apes would be perfect for you.

16" apes and a tall boy or sundowner seat should be fine for you. I'm 6'4 and I'm going to run a sundowner and Yaffe 16's on my RKC.

I'm not near your height (only 6-0) but I went with Khromewerks Sweepers. I like the way they turn my wrists out a bit. My seat sits me back about 1 and 1/2 inch so I went with the 2+2s.

I changed bars for the looks and the internal wires. I got lucky with the fit. Although they are lower than stock I don't find myself reaching further..more pull back. WO Dresser bars and no wheelbarrow angle.

Being that tall, chances are you are wide across the shoulders. You likely need a fairly flat bar to keep wrist angle straight. I am only 6 foot, but wide across shoulders. I have found Drag Bars the best. Mine have a 8 inch risers

Default 18" Wild ones

I am 6' 2" love my 18" wild ones as they are proportional to me and beside they look bad *** IMO. I had terrible sharp pains in between my shoulder blades after about 30 min of riding my RKC with the stock bars.
