16" Ape Hangers - How tall are you?
For the guys that ride with 16" ape hangers - how tall are you? Do you like them?
Can you do 700 mile back to back days without issue?

I just put on 16", there comfortable as hell! I never had them on any bikes prior, rode my buddy's always a nice ride. I can tell you this having drags for years, having higher bars in my case, prevents that shoulder/neck cramp some guys get...I have riden w/ guy w/ apes for 100's of miles & they never bitched about anything was always everyone else that needed to stretch out..

Appreciate the feedback. I guess I am just a bit nervous as I come from a background of moto-x, sportbikes and my chopper w/ drag bars. I love the look of the apes and hope they handle well for long trips.
I'm excited to find out.

6 foot even...I should also mention I have 1.5 inch risers, I think stock are 1 inch.
where are you located, some places are starting to crack down on apehanger height laws.......and believe it or not, 12 inch apes are illegal on my bike.......law reads no more than 15 inches from teh lowest point of the seat, the stock buckhorn bars were damn near illegal
