ok here is the deal i have 99 roadking.im 5'11-6'0 tall and i have the mustang solo seat w/backrest.
now i called hcc for the 16in ape package and he said to put new poly bushings,one pieace top clamp,and connector to make it a plug and play if i dont do it myself because an outside shop said that they are going to charge at least 1-1.5 labor just for the wiring.then to top it all off he said that there 18in bars run like 16in on the roadking.so now im back at square one.can u please send pics and opinions on this thank you.

 

i'm the same height as you. on my 98 rk, i originally put 16's on. ran them for about a year and went to 18's. they just felt more in the zone for me. go with the one peice clamp for sure. go with some good stiff bushings. i did the poly with the 16's and had a buddy make me some solid steels for the 18's.

As stated in many posts on the forum....i am 6'1" and was stuck between 14's and 16's. Went with 16's at the advice of many and after a month wouldnt have minded going 18's. Had an Indy do my install tho, didnt have time myself. Good luck

 

I am the same size with the same bike and I absolutely love my 18s...me and a buddy did the install. we used the original bushings(wouldn't recommend doing that) which I am going to change as soon as I get the chance. Why do I need a 1 piece top plate though? seems fine with the originals

 

the 1 peice clamp just gives a better clamp on the bars overall. in fact, when i did my 16's, i didnt change it. the bars split a little where the hole was drilled in the center bottom of the bars for the wiring. all of the newer bikes now come from the factory with the 1 peice clamp .

thanks for the info.if u guys have a link with pics it be great.

 

thanks head, guess i'll change the top clamp when I change bushings. and BKLYN, i'll try to get pics up tomorrow

 

im 6-2 and running 18"s on my 08 rkc.there pics in my account feel free to take a look

 

I'm 5'10" and have 16"s. Could have gone with 18"s. What I have is very comfortable.
