Default Wild 1 Chubby Apes

A few months ago I ordered and was charged for a set of 14's. I always thought that they look a little tall for 14's. I finally measured them today and they measure to be 16" tall. Guess I should have checked before.

Ok so I measured them again and from the top of the lower bar to the bottom of where the grips are is 14 inches.

I didn't measure the top point on my BR bars, but there is a couple of inches difference to where the grips are.
