I am undecided on how tall to go with apes on my new street gilde. i am 6'3 and like taller bars and am thinking about 13' but think that will block my mirrors. has ant one done this and what to use to cover up the holes in fairing. thanks

You can relocate your mirors to your bars... and another cool thing I saw for the holes left by the fairing mirrors were some tweeters for the radio... makes sense, and looks really good... I have a rk custom, so it is a bit different for me, but I have 18" bars, and my hands sit at my shoulder height... 13" will be fine, but 16' might feel better... either way, you will most likely loose any protection for your hands that the fairing provides...
