Default Apehanger Pictures

I have seen some great posts on this site of bikes with various styles of apes. One thing that would help me in my decision to go with some apes are pictures of folks sitting on the bike with their hands on the bars. I am interested in seeing the hand and shoulder position of 14 and 16 inch apes. As a point of reference, I am 5'11" with a 34" shirt sleeve. 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.

That is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you Keith! Your bike is sharp - I work in Farmington Hills.

Not far from me!

I realized that picture makes it look like I'm wearing a babushka. I guess there are many aspects of biker fashion that I don't pull off well.

I don't have any pics of me on it yet, they are too new to the bike. I'm 6'3" with a 36 inseam and I went with 16" Carlini's, which I'm told run a little higher than they say. My hands are level with my shoulders when I ride. I've even run a level from the back of my hand to my shoulder and its level. I hope this helps!
