you will be reaching for the sky! i have 14's on mine adn 2in risers added to stock... i am 5'9 and it puts me just a slight bit above shoulder level... if you want a cheap way to lift your bars to check out how you like it... look at the $50 mod thread i posted a how to make your own risers... cost like 6 bucks and looks and works great! go up a few in and see what you think!

I am 6 foot, with 16" apes. I have my stockseat which putsthem 0-2" over my shoulder hieght (depending on how i sit), and I have a Lepare Bare Bones seat which puts them 3-4" over my shoulders. I haven't riden more than about an hour and I have not fatigued out yet,but I could see it becoming a little uncomfortable after a while.
