I'm the same height as you are. I have 13"ers on Reaper, and they are perfect for me.

Cheers!

I've got the wo501's. But I'm 5'9 and I heard 12.5 or 13 will fit perfect.

LA Choppers 20" apes on a 4" riser...whatever size you choose I think you'll enjoy them.

Just got mine back from powdercoat Friday and installed them yesterday; now thye'are black to match my front end. Keeping all the chrome you see in the sig pic except the front turn signals and strip near the upper fork covers has been done in black too.
