I don't have the Baron's Big Johnson, but if you're concerned about the width of the bars in particular, my 16" apes are 40" wide (ended up 41 1/2" with grips on) and the width for me is perfect! I'm 6'2" and have 37" arms, so I could even go wider on the bars...

I have the StarBar which is similiar to the Big johnson bars.

Width: 36"
Rise: 4"
Pulback: 12.50"

I'm 6'2" and love these bars. They do open you up like a sail on the highway though.

I am looking for a change in my bars, I bought 8" risers and put drag bars on as my thought was that it would be a better ride and make for a change in the look. It changed the look but to me it just doesnt seem to match the style of the bike. The stock bars are ok but seem to a little low for me. I am 6'2 as well and was wondering how you like the star bars MORELAND4. I have been riding without the windshield lately but it may go back on in a while so I was also wondering about the wind you catch. Any help is always appreciated. TIA

I have the Baron Big Johnson bars and I love them. They put my hands exactly where I want them.

There are a couple of photos in this link:

These bars are extremely comfortable. I've had other Roadie riders sit on my bike to get a feel for the bars and they love them also. Look great and feel even better.
