Default 16" road 6 customs

Hey guys, is anyone running 16" road 6 customs ape hangers? I'm trying to decide between the 14" and the 16" bars and I'm having a hard time finding pics and info on the 16s. I would like to see a pic and also get some feedback on the comfort/fit of the 16s. I'm 5'10" so it seems that I'm right on the cusp.

I appreciate the help!

I don't know about the Road 6 apes but I have 14 inch Wild 1's and at 5'11" I couldn't imagine going any higher.

Im not sporting the Road 6 bars but mine are 16"s and I am 5' 10" as well. They fit me perfect. I have friends with both 18's and 14's. I have put some miles on both of their bikes. IMO the 16's is where its at.

16" Carlini's and 5'9"

It works for me. I had Wild 1 16"'s before these.

Thanks again for the replies. This is very good info. I'm really leaning towards the 16s at this point.
