owners w/ apes inquire within
hello all,
I'm interested in putting some apes on the bike. had the bike since I was 21 (about 2 yrs. now) wanting to change it up a bit, really like the way my bike looks now but man those bars kill my back. Not sure how it would look. I'm 6'3" (bar height reference)
considering 16" gangster apes. but open to suggestions
here is how the bike sits now.
sorry for the terrible pics

Waiting for my 18s in the mail now. Im a hair over 6' and pretty psyched about the install. Im gonna take a boat load of pics and try to post a write-up on it.
Seems Ive been reading a lot about new apes.

I'm 5"11 and have a night train. I like the look of drag bars but can't stand actually using them while riding...
I had 10" wild1's but then went to the 14" wild1's. Right now I'd say they are slightly above my shoulders. I think 16's wouldn't have been comfortable for me.

I'm thinking at your height you be looking at the very least 16's or 18's... I'm 5'9" and 14's fit me perfect... I can tell you it's much mure comfy then the stock NT bars you got now.
Plus 1 on the gansta apes they're cool looking!
