Default Mini Ape height

What is the stock height of the Mini Apes on the Bobs?
At work so bike isn't here to measure.
Also, what is the most common height of higher apes?

Thanks.

Its a 12" ape.

As far as what the most common type is, I guess it depends on what you like. I see alot of guys with 16's, which is what I went with. Although one of my clubmates went with 18's.

I have 14's and went with 2 in risers... this will give you an idea... i did not swap cables but i did have to rebend the brake line... I made my own risers... see the $50 mod thread going around for a how to...
here is a before and after pic, i am 5'9 and it puts them right at shoulder height

Wow...guess I screwed the pooch on that one. I thought the stock was a 12" rise. My bad. Let the flogging begin.


Eh - on second though - I'll wait for the wife for the flogging part!

I just took my stock bob bars off and went with a fatter 13" ape. I might later install 3" risers. I feel the 13" fit the bike much better with all my other mods.

I put 13" apes on my FXD. This was a pretty nice increase from the stock buckhorns. I also like my bars rolled forward so it does give an appearance of being slightly taller than they are.
Seems the most common ape height is 16" but I was'nt into the idea of my hands being above my shoulders all the time.
