Need ideas on new handle bars

I like the beach bars but, I hear they are too wide for lane splitting and uncomforable after long rides. I dont care for apes. I am a tall guy and I lean forward with the stock handle bars. Any other ideas, websites, etc... That I can check out??

thank you

cant remember all the details but someone who has a fatboy might know,but my 05 heritage I used risers (brought bars up 2" and back 2")and they were perfect,im 6' didnt have to change anything other than brake cable really liked the stock bars just needed them up a little higher,but seems like thats not an easy job on a fatboy..

Such a tough choice.
You will have to look around at all the options that fit your style. Even as simple as bending some coat hangers to get an idea where bars fall for you might help.

Look at Wild1 bars if you want high quality chrome bars that you can run your wires internally. They have a chart showing bar measurements.
