Default For those asking about height of apes...
I finally got some pics of my bars so you can see how high they are. These are 16" Carlini Flyin' apes and I am 5'9". A bit above my shoulders as you can tell.

looks good bubba. I think those would ride a little high for me and I'm 6', but everybodys got their own comfortable spot.

Cool pic BTW.

I went with the 16" Gangster apes myself. I'm 6'1" and love them.

Doesn't the blood flow out of your hands during long trips? I've always wondered this about tall apes.

I can reach the highway pegs too. The blood does not flow out of my hands either. I guess I have good circulation.

If the blood is going to flow out of your hands on a long trip then I'd start worrying about the blood flowing out of your head on a short trip.
