Default Thanks

Thanks for all the input it is very helpful.
Well I bit the bullet and ordered Wild1 14" Apes. I hope I made the correct decision. I'll let you know how I like them when they are on and I put a few miles on.

Hey J... I have the same bike as you, and am still trying to figure out what is best for me. Considering the 518's, but I am concerned about them being too low. I have a 3/4" lowered and 1" moved back sundowner seat, and am just under 6'2''. I am wondering how tall you are... thanks! Andrew
