Anyone using the 14" Wild 1s?
They don't have any pics up yet for the new 14" apes. Obviously I could easily imagine them since they have pics for the 12.5", but it would be nice if someone had pics or could share their experience with them. I am thinking ofputting them on my bike. 16" is too tall for me, but 12.5" might be too short. I am 5'11".

I have the 12.5 mini apes Wild1's on my RK Custom, I am 6', and I wish I had gone higher. Higher would give you more room to pull them back and still be high enough. Also, the Wild1's are wider than I had thought, so higher giving more pull back adjustment would be more comfortable for me.
Have you considered the HD stock WideGlide bars off of I think an 06? That might be a nice choice.

I have the Chubby 12.5". I wish they had14" when I bought mine. I'm 6'2". The 12.5 are nice but I bet the 14s are nicer. I didn't want to do 16" on a RK.

I'm 6'2" and have the Chubby 502's (12.5") and love them. Hands are a few inches below shoulder height and the pullback is more than stock. But I also have a Danny Gray bigseat that puts me a couple of inches lower and further back so take that into consideration also.
