i am 5'8 with an 06 deluxe i want to put apes on my bike but i don't want 16" i know that is to big so if you have a deluxe with apes that are about 10" to 14" could you post some pics of it to give me an idea of what i want or any suggestions would help

 

16"s aren't too big man. I am the same height with 1-1/2" risers and they are perfect! I sat on a buddys bagger that has 14s and felt too low for apes for me.

 

At 5'8 I would think 16 inch apes would be the way to go. I am 5'11 and riding with 18 inch carlini's.

 

Not only are the 10-14" apes too small for you but they will make your bike look weird.

 

guess my bike looks weird... Hmmmm ... Im 5'10" and Im running burlybrand 14"ers..... And my apes go to my chin....

 

Also imo.... Apes look best kicked forward.. Instead of leaning back... I guess yes i could go with 20" apes tilted back into my lap... Now that's weird!!!!

 

I am 5'8 I have 14" Wild 1 Chubbys on a 03 FLSTC with stock risers.

 

I have 16's (wild 1's) I'm 5'10" ...they come up past my shoulders... i think 14's would have been perfect...also take into consideration what seat your running...overall love the apes!

 

I have an 07 deluxe and just put 14 inch carlini flyin apes on it a week ago. Everyone says the carlinis claimed height is shorter than what they actually are and they are right. My 14s are basically 16s. Having said that, I am really pleased with them and I'm 5 10.

 

I would recommend 14's and tilt them forward. As mentioned, if you get Flying Apes add at least 1.5" to the stated height. SJ Ron
