Default Another APE Question???

Got another question for you guys about installing apes. I know that the dimensions of bars is personal preference, but looking for some input when it comes to pull back. I am looking for apes in the 12.5 to 14 inch range. As I have done some research I have noticed that there seems to be a wide range when it comes to pull back. Wondering what most people have gone with?

How tall are you guys? The 14's look nice but I'm 5'8 so can't go too high.

I'm 6'-1" with the 14.5s. I believe there are some guys your height with 16s and even 18s. Don't go bigger just because you think it would look cooler. If you are set on a height and think that is where you will be comfortable, run with it!
