Depends on your height tho...I'm 6 feet what do you think would be best?
I'm going with 14" @ 5'11''. I have them but are waiting on some parts to get back from powder pro before installing them.

I'm 5'9". I went to the 14" burley narrow apes. I am always wishing for more pull back.
The height is perfect. I think they look damn cool.

Sorry to have to correct you guys but if you check out the world according to Willie G., somewhere in the new testament, anybody worth their salt knows that the mini apes on a Street Bob are 10.5 inches of rise...

too confuse matters.... H-D mini apes have a 8.5" end rise.... the burly narrow apes are the best thing sinced sliced bread in the ape world. I freakin love the way they look!!!!! 14" 16" whichever, Personally I say get 14" ones.

I have a 2009 bob as well and I've ran into the same problem. I was told the fxdb's used 10.5 through 2008 and then went with 12.5 for the 09's and up. Still not sure though. I ordered 18" nash ape hangers back at the end of November (have yet to receive them *****) and have been looking for the correct cable length to purchase.

What is end rise? Never heard that term for bars. Not sure where you guys are getting all these different dimensions, that parts catalog and HD show mini apes as 10" rise.
