16" Gangsters on my RKC in 1 1/4". Very happy with them. I'm 6' 32"inseam and 34" sleeve if that helps. Sit just at about shoulder height if not a little shorter for me.
Heres a pic the day I installed.

+1 on this. I too wanted 14's and went with 16's and now wish I got 18's. I'm 6'3" and installed WO 16" 1.25 apes. Could not be happier. 1.50 just looks too large and almost nothing fits around them.

My steed is an '08 RKC and I recently installed Wild one 515 mini apes. Although they are not the height that you're looking at nevertheless the dia of the bars are 1.25. When I removed the stock bars I could not believe how flimsy they were, and I was able to notice a thin crack from underneath in which the control wire had been hiding it. The new bars have solid feel and I can maneuver my steed much easier, and much more comfortable. Good luck on your venture.
