13" rise 1 1/2". Very comfortable but a little wobbly above 80... probably due to the raked trees.

Hey man no disrespect to your wife but, if this is what you want do it. My wife may not understand everything I do to my bike, but it is mine and for me to enjoy. As long as I am not spending the bill money, mods are fair game. Hope to see your mod pics soon.

She's probably afraid you're going to look too cool.As far as comfort I had beach bars before and find the apes to be more comfortable.I've never experienced the numbness in the hands like some of the haters talk about.

Well, duh!! LOL Welcome to marriage. I'm just pullin' your chain, man...it's all good. I used to have 16's on mine...I loved them, but, to me, they just threw the look of my bike out of proportion. I'm have 12's now and they are perfect. My hands are exactly where I want them.

Good luck!!
Tim
