I'm seriously considering an F6B this fall but I have to be patient as there are lots of rumors floating around for a completely new ground up F6B and GoldWing for 2018. Different motor, 6 speed or their DCT tranny, better nav system etc. etc. You know how rumors are. That being said I will wait and see.
I have slightly raised bars - KhromeWerks Wide Sweeper 2+2. On a Standard/Roadster you will need Touring throttle cables and 4" overlength Clutch cable. The bars will also need extending by 2" each side. I am 5'8" and they are spot on. tbh I'd prefer a bit narrower - as the Barkbusters now catch a bit of wind but other than a custom bend I can see no way around it.

I made a couple of sets from 6061-T6 aluminum a few years ago, when I had Access to a CNC Machining Centre. the Gold coloured are 9" rise 7 the Red are 6". The risers where machined from 4" x 1" billet and the round was 1" solid bar, press fitted together. Excuse the junk in the background
Pity about the side profile shot, you just spoiled my delusion that you were just taller than the average Norm.
Now I know your more like the Aussie Norm and me!

Those look like some of the earlier Heli-Bars - Interesting - I did find something similar on ebay but only in 7/8 aimed at Chines 125cc bikes. Fully adjustable. Not the same rise etc naturally.
