I'm with you JayOhh. I cannot like anything over 14", and really 12" is about right. They just don't look right if they are any taller. Must just be us though, as many on here are running 16" and 18". Eye of the beholder thing.
Depends on the build. I used to hate the look of tall apes on a big twin, but some of these builds have changed my mind. I wouldn't go there personally, but they look good for others. All I can think is "can you catch any more wind?"
I have often wondered about catching wind too. Maybe if I look at enough of them I will learn to like them better. Most seem to push them forward which just does not look right to me. I have seen a few with 14's in line with the fork that I think look really nice. Like I said, I think it's just me.
