I installed Hill Country Custom 14" apes on my 2007 Wide Glide with 1.5 inch risers. My hands are right about shoulder level, I am 6'2". I could have went with 16" and still been legal in all states. Overall I like them and they seem to be good quality at a fair price. Below is a link to the bars I purchased.

I have the Wild1 Chubby Outlawz 14". I love them. I know a lot of guys use the Road6 and seem to be happy with them as well.

I'm 5'10 and I like the 16" burly narrows. Right at shoulder height.
