I have seen 18" apes on a RG and I didn't like them, but that's just my opinion and I probably wont be borrowing your bike too much

To me apes should not be on a bike with a fairing.

Thanks Harley Rulz,
I also have 12" apes right now, but I have to reach down to grab them, so I am in need of 16"-18",
just need to see an example of the 18" to see or sit on...

IMO: Almost any bike looks better with apes. See a few Road Glides in Northern MA - Southern NH running 16" and they look slick. Only seen one with what looked like 18" apes...it didn't look right to me. Seemed like too much distance between the fairing and the grips...
