nice ride! I am trying to decide between the 12" and 14" apes. I am 6'2" and and currently riding the stock drag bars. Any comments are appreciated.

Bike is bad. Nice job, and I def like the Carlini Gangsta Apes on there. Not too wide, looks proper.

Carlini's run big so my 14" are actually 15.5" and sit just above my shoulders (I'm 6'1"). I'd suggest the 14s.
