Default Spring seat and apes

I am looking at getting the La Rosa spring seat with the 2" torsion springs and burly narrow apes. I am having a hard time deciding between 14" and 16" apes. I will be running 1" risers. Anybody running a similar setup? I am 6'3".

Being 6'3", get the 16"! I promise you'll regret getting the 14"! Everyone says the same thing..."I wish I'd gone with higher ones" (myself included) so get the ones that are "one step up" from what you think is enough. Also 16" bars will look killer!

Good luck!

Just installed the 16 inch Burleys on my 72. Stock seat and I'm 5'8". I love the way they look and feel.

Valdez2068, what bracket are you using on your speedo? Mine factory is on the other side of the bars, and I want mine similar to yours, but with a black bracket.

DoubleTake, That is the stock bracket from the 72. Only ones I have seen are in chrome.
