That is a badass lookin' bike man. Very nice.

I went with 14" Chubbies and they're right at shoulder height for me - I'm 5' 11" with a C&C solo seat, which sits a little lower than stock. Love 'em - they're perfection. Longest ride is 9 hours (minus short fuel stops) and no discomfort at all.

Thank you!! Can't wait to get my Shotgun Shocks on it.

I just ordered my cables from LA Choppers when I got my bars (they say they work for 15"-17" apes) so I dont know the size, I just got wire at the local hardware store and extended my wires. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

As mentioned above, check out Wild 1 website: www.wild1inc.com for many pics. I recently had Wild 1 Chubby (1.25" diameter) 502's (12.5") installed along with chromed out controls diamond back cables. I'm 6'3'' and they work for me.
