Default Wild 1 Chubby 16" or 18" Apes

I have a 2014 Street Bob and I'm debating on these W1C Apes. I don't know what size to choose as I like the high apes but don't want to high. If you know what I mean.

I had 16" R6C apes on my 2013 Sporty and thought the height was fine but don't know if bars on sporty and dyna sit at different heights before riser clamp.

Anyone have a set of these on their Bob that would like to chime in.

P.S. I don't really like the look of the R6C apes and Burly Apes as the narrow look to me is more fit for a Sporty. But to each their own.

Thanks!

Sit on your bike, hold your hands up and have someone measure the height. Either one will look great. It's all about how you feel

Ive got 12's on my bike and they are super comfortable. I could easily have gone 14 as well but I wanted the best handling in the corners I could get and still be comfortable . the 12 in. W1chubby outlawz did it for me.

That's what I have on mine also. Love them. I'm 6' and the bars are about even with my shoulders. I'm able to corner at high speeds, when I forget to slow down, and my hands never go numb
