New to a TG and I see a lot of you have changed to a 12" bar. I'm 6'1" and have had 4 disked fused in my neck and both shoulders fixed. So who in my height have changed bar's and what did you go with? Also did you do it yourself and did you need extensions. Mines a 2022. Sorry for the long post.
Pictures help too
Welcome to the group
Welcome to Trike Talk Dave. Although I'm not 6'1" myself and most of my friends have switched to Khromewerks 2plus 2 wide sweepers. A couple of my buddies are 6'1" and really like these bars. On a 2022 they are easy to install, with no need for extensions just rerouting the stock wiring under the fairing makes it easier.
Hope this helps.

Yes, I can
The first mod I made to mine was changing to the KW 2+2 Wide Sweepers. I rode with the stock bars for about a month and switched. It is like having power steering. I'm 6'1" and have back issues as well.
I’m also 6’1” and 2+2 klockwerks work great on my trike. I also have 12” Paul Yaffee Classic apes on my 07 Electra Glide and love them. The biggest plus on the 2+2 is my hands stay more behind the faring in colder weather. My 12” are cold in the winter so I installed guards in the cold months.

Did you have to do any wire or cable extensions?

I did wire extensions just be on the safe side but I didn't have to extend the cables. You can cut the wire ties and they will have enough length to work.
I replaced the bars on my 21 TG with the 2+2 narrows. I’m 5’8” and they work great for me. I ran the wires from the grip controls through the inside of the bars. Didn’t need to extend the clutch cable or brake lines. I did add an H-D wire extension into the fairing from the right grip wiring, which I attributed to the move of the wiring harness from outside the bars to the inside.
I’m 6’ but long waisted. I went with 14” LA Chopper bars. The shop I had do the install had me sit on the bike and then measured my arms from the stock bars. 14” got my arms as close to being level. Definitely relieved the pinch in my neck on longer rides.
I’m 6ft and used KST Customs Six Bender 10in Bars on 21 Tri Glide. These are 2in taller than stock but 5in wider and much better wrist angle. Still have protection from the fairing in cold and rain. The shop that installed them used wire extensions to run through the bars but didn’t have to change the clutch cable or front brake line. Very comfortable.
