My SG has 16" apes. Personally, I love 'em. Some of my buddies originally thought they were ridiculous on a bagger, but when they saw me riding, they (most if them) changed their opinion. I'm 6'5" and this is BY FAR the most comfortable ride / setup I've experienced.

I have 16" cyclesmiths on my 2008 EG Standard and absolutely love them. I travel long trips each yeary (4-5000 miles) and what I have found is I no longer get the pain in between my shoulder blades and it feels smoother when I make sharp turns. I am 5'8" so I am not a tall guy, and in retrospect I could have gone with the 18" and been just as happy. As always stuff on our bikes is for our preference not anyone elses. I am just happy it looks good and it is functional for me.

I was never a fan of apes on baggers but I have been looking at some of the threads on here and I am liking the look.
I started looking at the Monkey Bars in probably 12"-14". What do you all recommend? I'm 6'1" and have some long *** gorilla arms. I would also like to be able to use my stock SG mirrors.
