I just finished installing 16" apes on my 05 Standard. What do you think?

 

killer wanting to do that to my 08 are those 1 inch apes

 

Looks good to me, I'm planning to put some taller apes on my softail... I was thinking about going with 16", but I'm worried that'll only put my hands even with my shoulders. I want my hands just a bit higher than my shoulders. Where do your 16"ers put your hands in relation to your shoulders? PS. again, looks good.

 

1-1/2 apes

 

with 1-1/2" risers my hands are just above my shoulders. I am 6'4". My friend ,who is 5'10, has his hands even with his head.

 

Cool, thanks... I'm 6', sounds like the 16"ers will be perfect.

 

looks great with the apes. even better without the shield!

 

Keep in mind he's standin' 'em straight up. If you pulled 'em back so they're inline with the forks, the grips would be little lower. So you may wanna go with 18's depending on how you set 'em up. Most dealers will let you hold different size bars up to your bike before purchasing just to be sure.

 

Love 'em!

 

also be aware what your local laws are. Some states are 14" from the lowest part of your seat to the top of your bars... some states are shoulder height... some states don't care
