Florida is top of handlebars no higher than top of shoulders.
South Dakota is handgrips lower than top of shoulder.
Neither of which are a problem with 16s and not likely an issue with 18s.
i dont need to travel this far anyway. summertime here is like sturgis or daytona. there is a harley everywhere you look. its like a trend for some folks and they are everywhere around here now.
im buying apes tomorrow but im having trouble deciding between 16 and 18s. i usually ride 50% with a windshield. i am 6"2 and probably going to by wild one chubbies. HCC has some bars exactly the same as the wild ones but less pullback? any opinions or pics would be helpful....
Not sure if your aware, but HCC also sells Wild Ones. I ordered there package deal and got WO's. I am on the shorter side of the spectrum so I got 14's for my RK....
Wild 1 in 18" would mean cutouts in my windshield, otherwise my hands would be back to about my shoulders, not comfortable at all. The 16" size seem to be ideal.

If I was to do it again I would go with 18"s, but I do love my 16" Carlini's.
I don't think 16" or 18" will make any difference as far as the windshield is concerned. My 16"s are outside the windshield as it is.
I'll dig up some pics and post them.''
Hey, this is the exact same color as my RKC. i believe its a custom paint since no stock listings show anything close to this color. Do you know what the color is called? Also, I have 16", am 5'10" and find them extremely comfortable. However, when trying to add a windshield mounted stereo, the straight up apes interfere with stereo look and usage. I know its not a part of this conversation, but curious if you have seen any mounted with Apes and a windshield. I dont want to go with a Fairing but might have to. i take a lot of long trips and love my music and the ease of riding with a wind deflector. Appreciate the info on the color! thanks
