A freind of mine added some 20's on his road king and they are almost the same as another friends 16"s. Really. I was shocked I could ride it quite comfortable and I am not tall. I always recommend +8" for 16's so I guess for 20's it would be +12" You could also call Scott Hillside customs and ask him. He'll hook you up and get you a great price too.

It's 12+ stock for 20" apes on a 4" riser...that's what I run...if you run a smaller riser, say a 2", you could do 10+ stock length. I've seen guys go longer on the length, IMO, it makes the cables too long and visually can make the front end look sloppy.
