14 inch Carlini Flyin Apes 1.50 with a 1.5 inch riser. Full rise is about 16.5 inches cause the bars are actually 15 inchers. I'm 5 foot 10 and there right at my shoulders.

Thanks, I'm not big on tons of chrome either. But love the way a piece looks against black, makes it pop.

Heritage: 18" Physco Apes with 1.5" risers.
Deluxe: 16" (really 17.33") Fly In Apes with 1.5" risers.
I am 6' and both bars are 2-3" above my shoulders. The Deluxe seat sits lower which evens out the height difference of the bars. SJ Ron

They are 16" from Hill Country. Bought the package that included the cables and wire extensions. Ended up not needing the extensions though.

Not the narrows, wanted the beefier look and they are 1 1/4". They reduce at the controls and handlebar clamp.
