Default BR Customs

Im looking at getting a set of Apes from BR customs but cant decide on the style i want. Im 5' 9" so i was think about 14" w/2in risers. Post some pics if you have any BR bars and the dimensions as well.

You may want to check out BR's measuring up bars page as it describes how to measure for bars that will fit you and your riding position.

Mike good lookin bike and i just used the measuring guide on the BR customs website and i think some 16in bars would work good for me. Also how are the apes on a long ride, like 4+ hours? And do you think you could tell me the bottom width of your bars.
