Make sure you sit on a bike with 16" apes if that's the route your going FIRST before you commit to buying them...I wanted either 14" or 16" apes too...that was until I sat on a bike with them. Not for me, but to each's own.

I'm 5'10" and I have 16's. Wouldn't have wanted to go any lower than that.

I just installed 16's on my RKCustom. They are at shoulder height when I use perfect posture. I havent had any issues with numbness and I found I can turn alot tighter now. Love them, good luck
