I have also found this thread extremely helpful. I'm really considering apes on my RKC and think I will go with 18's. I'm 6'4 btw.

These are Wild 1 12" outlaws. They aren't really what I would call apes. I'm 5'10" tall.

Comfy as can be, personally I would not want them any higher.
I still want blood to flow easily to my hands.

I know, this is a bit of an off the wall request, but it would provide a better indication of the hand position, which is really important in my decision.

I'm 6' with a 35/36 shirt sleeve and my 14" LA CHopper Twin Peak APes work perfect for me. Elbows slightly bent & my hands right in line with my shoulders. Don't have a pic with me on them presently.

5' 11" with 16" prime apes, pic will come in a few days, bike just got dropped off at the dealer yesterday for the clutch recall. My 16's are worlds better than the 12" Vindiktas I ran on the same bike last year.
