Apes with a bob'd rear fender would look sick on that bike.

I would insert that 16"s would be the best, at your height - and likely more comfortable, though that is very subjective. To my eye, 16s aren't 'over the top.'

I think they would look great too but at 6'4" 12" is way to short in my opinion. Apes will not disrupt the flow of the bike, rather they will give it a bit of a different stance that wills till look great. 14"-17" evil apes in black are the ticket for your ride, or some RSD kind apes in 16". At least that is my vote.

At your height, you have to go at least 16". SJ Ron

May I interrupt this thread to say...that is one sexy blacked out macheen you've got there. It's going to be badass with apes.

Thanks!!!
