I did the broom stick thing today!!! I would have been sorry if I had gone with the 14's for sure. I put the broom stick exactly where I wanted my hands when I ride 5 times in a row (and had my son measure without telling me) 15.75" everytime. Now I have to decide who to get them from. Hill Country Custom Cycles is the first place to come to mind. They seem to be the most complete.

Apes need to be atleast at the 12 O'clock postion. Nothing more funny looken than apes inline with the forks for that raked look.
Mine curve out, so if you were to put them in the 12 o'clock position, I dont think I could reach them.
