Default Fatboy lo with apes?

Has anybody with a fatboy lo changed their handlebars for apes? If so, did you do it yourself? what height bars did you go to, and how tall are you?

Default +1 Aped Lo

I'm 5' 11" and went with 14's on stock risers. It puts the grips just about shoulder height, which is where I wanted to be.
