Default Paul Yaffe 16s

I'm really thinking hard about going 16" Paul Yaffe's. Hard decision on 14s or 16s. Really just going for the look. I don't care about being 8ft tall with 40ft arms to be comfortable. Can all you 16" Yaffe owners post pics of your scoot. Will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Since your not getting many responses I thought I would add a post on just apes period. When I was researching height I learned that you should go 2 inches taller than what you were thinking. So although I cannot comment of the Yaffe's, I can comment on height which to me is more important.....oh and go with the 1 1/4" or 1 1/2", it gives a meaty look to the fit and finish and give you vital space when you try to fit all the wiring inside the bars.

Going to sale the bars, grips, brake lines & clutch cables. I'll give you 1st dibs on them. Should be here soon. Next couple of weeks depending on availability of the Yaffe bars.
