To Ape or not to Ape?

I am very careful about keeping the bar height below the top of the fairing as I find once the temperatures drop my hands get cold to the point of going numb. Probably caused by frost bite from years ago. Latest bars are RSD 8" King Apes in black. 2 wheeler has LA Choppers 10 " Twin Peaks.
 
Here's mine

I don't have any idea of the specs since I bought it this way. I like it though. Of course I'm 6'7" tall so these are more or less in a natural position for my arms.

I have 10" LA Choppers on my 2014 Tri-Glide. When I first saw them on the bike I thought I should have gone taller, but after several high mile days they are just about right. I'm 5-10 and the bars take all the pain away I used have between my shoulder blades while still keeping my hands behind the fairing.
 
Another look

I have posted these before another option. Khrome Werks 2+2 wide sweepers. angle of grip is a bit straighter and little over 4" wider than OEM's. :Shrug: ride safely fearless

I purchased the Paul Yaffee 14 inch bagger bars. I first ordered the 12 inch but my mechanic after seeing them on the bike suggested I go with the 14s to push me back further. Thanks to my mechanic these are working perfectly. Much easier to steer and so much more comfortable. One of my best purchases.
'

can I ask what height and reach are you?? I am 5'6" with short arms. I was thinking of Chrome Werks 2+2 so that is why I am asking about your size. thx.:Coffee:
 
Thinking about adding either 10 or 12 in Yaffee bars to the trike. Just wondering if I will have to change cables or will the stock ones fit. I have heard that on 10 in, sometimes stock works, but never heard about 12 inch.

Played with the idea last summer, but changed my mind when I got the price and almost fainted. :D

Last summer I got hit on one of my fingers with hail. Not a fun experience. Not taking a chance to do that again with a rock or June bug etc. So I'm sticking with the stock bars.

I have the 12" Yaffee bars. on a 2010 RGC. My brake cable worked, my clutch cable had to be replaced. I bought the HD extended reach cable $61.00
