I think they'll be comfortable. I had 16s on my street bob and I loved them. I could have probably got 18s and still been comfortable but the 16s were perfect. I'm 5-11 and I like to ride for the entire day non stop.

i was alwAys told going that high would cause loss of feeling in the hands due to decreased blood flow, but that's bullshit

By the way I was worried I went too high so when I first mounted them I had them closer to me, but ended up moving them further away from me for a higher feel.
