Any issues fitment wise for a '10 RKC between the 1.25 or 1.5 bars?

I sat on a few bikes with the Gangster Apes last night, the 14's feel good, the 16's too, but "for me the 18's felt too tall, I take lots of long rides not just bar hopping.

I am having a tough time deciding between the 14's and the 16's, just don't want the bars to be too high and uncomfortable, they're not cheap.

I'm 5'11, 235 lbs, 32 inseam, and 75 inch wingspan, anyone my size that can offer some input?

Thanks

BenE,

Not yet. I'm over in Japan for a few months, so I hope to be able to put the bars on this summer. I'll just have to wait and see how my money looks after the wife and kids get taken care of.
