Default Apes for Roadglide CVO

Which apes are most comfortable for Road glide CVO with and without changing existing OEM cables? 6', 230#, 60+ yoa.

Thank You.

Comfort is subjective, but I'm 6' as well with long arms and slouch when I ride. Started off with 12" and the last 2 sets were 14". I prefer the 14. Currently have Factory 47 and think they look the best. The 14" wild 1 reaperz (now called hookerz) were the most comfy to me because they were narrower than the F47. The F47 aren't uncomfortable at all, I just thought the reaperz were the most comfortable. I wouldn't like anything wider than the F47.

Stock cables and wires will work with the 14", but I used 4" wire extensions from NAMZ because I had them from another install.

12" factory 47's work for me, although I haven't ridden with 14's.

I have a set of Yaffe 16" on mine. If you cut the zip ties for the fluid lines you may not need to buy extensions. I didn't. You may need to solder some extensions for the internal wiring, I just don't remember. Hope this helps.
