14 or 16in any feedback
Always go taller than you think you wanna go. So go with the 16's. Also, the Flying Apes arc slightly backwards, and the Gangster Apes arc slightly forward.

Well I have some experience with this I had 16" inch Fling Apes last year (17 inches actually). Really nice bars, but I decided I wanted less pullback. Just put on 16 Gangsters and like the feel, but haven't road tested them yet.

If you like your arms more straight, as opposed to elbows down, get the Gangsters.

Oh yeah, 16 inches for sure with an aped out Road King. Pm me if interested in my Flying Apes

What I did when I desided on bars was go to the dealer. There are a lot of used bikes with apes there.
