Thanks. I thought they looked tall so I measured them and they are definitely 14's. The seat is actually a c&c sport tour.

That looks great. what kind of screen is that? Does it provide good wind protection?

An often overlooked benefit in riding with apes in the summertime is that you'll need less deodrant with your arms up in the air like that.

The screen with the drag bars? It was a windvest. Got way too much buffetting with it so I sold it and bought a harley quick detach. Problem now is in order to use the windshield I have to pull the apes back a bit and I really like where they're at now. I may end up selling the new shield too.
