i'm 6'1, i have 2 1/2 in risers and 14's, when i sit they are about even with my shoulders, so my arms can hang a little bit which is comfortable, so i'd say with a 2 inch riser 16's would be your best bet.. i put them on my super glide, had 3 1/2 inch riser with 8 inch mini, but since the bike sits higher and the rake making the front end a little higher then both sets are about the same height. i'll take a pic of the two bikes together when i get home so you can see..when i got the LO, the bars are ok, but it felt like my elbows were in my chest and my shoulders were up in my neck. had some friends look at my lo and they were not sure either till they sat on it. i sometimes think the height of the apes are an optical illusion, they are more comfortable than you would think

Yeah, I definitely believe that to be the case from what I've read.

Yeah, that's what I dig about the floorboards is that you can put your feet wherever. I have thought about getting the Arlen Ness forward extensions for them, but 3" seems like a bit much... I'm not uncomfortable where they are, so I will leave them alone for now.

driving myself nuts. i'm just about done with the mods. going to change the spark plug wires to blue, will eventually find the right linkage rod and find the right axle nut covers.. but with all my bikes i've had atleast one if not a few skulls on it. i love the skull on the crossbones on the oil tank, i'm thinking the oil tank as being my canvas. but i'm nervous about putting something. don't want to just put something there for the sake of doing it..either find a harley decal of the number 1 with a skull in it or just finding a cool skull..ugh..opinions welcome on this issue

I feel like something like that may look out of place on our stock oil tank.
If you swapped it out for a barrel style oil tank then I think the right badge could look cool.
Something like this... (hope "HI" doesn't mind me using his pic)

Yeah, I know how it is on the crossbones... I feel like it works on there because of the "rat bike" kind of look that the crossbones already has going on. Our bikes are just a bit cleaner looking so that's why I don't know how well it would work.
This is all just my opinion though. If you dig it, then make it happen!
