Default Menace Apes on Road King

About to order some Carlini Menace Apes for my 2011 Road King. I am debating 16s or 18s. I'm 6'2" and think I should be decently comfortable with either. But was hoping to see some pictures out there if you have them. Thanks!

Are you wanting to look cool or are you wanting to be comfortable ??
If you are wanting to be comfortable, measure first...
If you are wanting to look cool, buy the 18's......and don't worry about comfort.

I have the Carlini 18 in Flying Apes on my King. I'm 6'3.... I would prefer some a bit shorter only because I have a low profile seat I like. That drops my down farther. Right now I have a RK CLASSIC seat....
