Default Carlini 16 or 18 which size?

I am looking at Carlini Menance apes but cannot decided 16 or 18 inch. I have a 2011 rkc with a tallboy seat. I am 6ft 2inches tall. I would like them no higher than my shoulders. So which ones?

I would think 18s.... I'm 5'6" and have 16" apes - very comfortable..... Just barely above my shoulder, maybe 1"

Go with the 18's. You won't regret it.

Got Carlini 16" gangsters on my RKC. I'm 6' tall with 32" inseam. Here's a couple pics. The one with me sitting on it is crappy, taken on the day I installed them but might give you some idea of how they measure up.

I had 16" Carlini's and my hands were at my shoulders. I am 6'4" and a 34" inseam. Remember, Carlini's run tall, so add close to an inch to what they say the bars are.
