I am 6' with long arms and have the Wild 1 Chubby 18" Physco Apes on a Heritage and 16" Carlini Fly In Apes on a Deluxe. Keep in mind the bars on Fly In Apes are around 1 1/2" higher than the size shown (the 16s are 17 1/2). Both bars are awesome, but the style and bend of the Carlini's are top notch and I would give an edge to -- but they are more expensive. Carlini also has some risers that are second to none (piston, high roller). Both bars are around 2" above my shoulders and do work with windshields when I go long distance with windshields. SJ Ron

Very comfortable riding position. I asked Bill for a 28" ring finger to ring finger width, same as stock width.
