Took off that Bon Jovi seat and went bare bones with a reg non studded bib. I am thinking carlini 16" apes next. I am 5'8" and measuring I feel that 16's will be ok. Anyone have a similar set up?

 

good move.

I'd suggest doing away with the football air cleaner, but JMHO.

 

That's on my hefty list lol

 

Im 5'8" and I have a lepera barebones seat with 16" Carlini gangsters on my stock risers. Fits me just right. You should be fine.

 

thanks for the response! I checked your album and they look awesome... I just fear that if I buy 14's I will wish I just did 16's...

 

The bare bones seat looks great. I ran it on my sporty, not the most comfortable seat on long rides but it sure does look sleek and badass.

 

well I have my bon jovi seat with backrest / bib on ebay but it if doesn't sell maybe I will just keep that setup as my long ride switch out

 

It's not a bad idea. I kept my stock seat for that same reason but never switched them out haha. I cared more about my bike looking cool than how comfortable I was.

 

Here's a pic with me with my 16 carlinis. Not too low and not too high.

 

Nice looking bike!!!
