Default '14 Breakout Seat and Apes

hey guys,
got my tax return and it's going into apes and a seat on my ride.

i am digging the Danny Gray Buttcrack, was hoping some of you have experience with this seat and tell me what you think?
Is the regular version comfy enough or is it worth it to upgrade to the airhawk. How much thickness does the airhawk add ?
I need the pillion version so I will prob have to order it direct.

Next I'm gonna put in apes. I am 6'1, I was thinking 16's but I wanna get the seat first to see how much it drops me because I want bar height relative to my shoulders and not fists super high in the sky.

Who has apes and what's your experience?

thanks a lot everyone, always appreciate the input.

I'm not sure if the airhawk adds any thickness, or how much better it is than the gel insert, but I have the Buttcrack solo (and pillion) with the gel insert on my Breakout and it's very comfortable. I also have 16" Carlini Menace apes and at 5' 11" my hands are just barley above my shoulders...
