So I have my choice for apes narrowed down to either the 12" or 14" burly narrow apes. I had a pair of 16" santee apes, but they were going to be too tall. Would the 14" be good? I have the sundowner seat on my fxdc, stock risers. I ride on base every day so I have to stay below my shoulders. The catalog says the 12" have a 4 1/2" center? That seems very small. Thoughts?

 

i'm 5'10 and my 12in apes are right below my shoulders when i ride my street bob

 

What apes do you have on yours? I'm assuming your bike is your avatar and thats the style that I'm leaning towards...

 

I'm 5'10 as well, 12inch apes is what I have also..

 

I guess 12" is what I will go with. My sundowner seat lifted me up about an inch and a half, maybe two inches.

 

My bars are 12'' as well, 4 1/2 center is the clamping area.

 

That's because they are narrow as hell. They fit a sportster front end (narrow glide) perfectly. I don't know what year your FXDC is but if you have a mid glide front end then it may look awkward.

 

I have a 2008 fxdc. Thinking with the width of my forks and the height of my seat I will in fact go with 14" apes....

 

I have 12 Outlawz and love them..fix great. I'm 5'10” handlebars are even with my shoulders super comfortable. I have 1.5” risers to keep things low.

 

How long of a wiring extension kit should I buy to run 12 or 14 inch bars? I am looking at the novello sets. Thanks!
