Ape Hangers on Fatboy LO

I have decided to go with ape hangers on my 2011 Fatboy LO but can't decide if I should go with the 14" or 16". I am 5'11" and wondering if anyone would know what would be more comfortable for me. Any suggestions?

Im 5'10 and i run 16s, they sit a lil high but i love em. And if ya go 16s atleast your cables and wires will be long enough if you wanna drop down to 14s lol

I'm 5'9" with 16"'s that measure more like 18"'s. That being said, everyone is comfortable in different ways. My advice is to find some bikes with apes and sit on them. It is impossible for to say what will be comfortable for you.

I'm 6' even and I went with 16's. I love 'em! But like everyone says, it al depends on how you like to ride. I will tell you, that cruising around is awesome, but long *** rides get kinda tiring; by riding with your fists high in the air goin 70 down the highway, you have basically made your body a parachute and you'll catch alot of wind.

But I'm not saying don't get them, I'm not saying that at all! Check out the Carlini Evil Apes, I am considering switching my 16s out to those...
