Yup reality sinks in (Im a Shorty), ha lol, i know what you mean my buddy has um straight up and it does bring out the beauty in the curve. Well case closed, thanks fellas.

 

i have a set of 18's on my bike with a stock black line seat and they are a bit of a reach but not out of control (i am 5'6" as well). i am swapping them out for a set of 12's or 14's to bring them down for longer rides. originally my bike was strictly bar hopper and if that is the case 16's is fine with a stock seat setup. if distance is the goal i would go with 14's.

 

 

I went with 16" Gangster Apes with the Carlini 2" Risers, man am I glad that I did. At right around 6' I'm right at my shoulders and it's a comfortable ride with a badass look.

 

I put 18" Carlini bars with Boob risers on my Deluxe, loved them but injured my left arm and couldn't keep my arm in the air. I then went to Beach bars and I dig the look and man are they comfortable. My Deluxe also came with bags, it was the first thing to go.

 

Running the Menace 12" X 1.50" and their boob risers on my M8 FB.
The '14 Deluxe I went with Pist 14" X !.25" and their single piece riser.
Everything surrounds your height and reach and what style you're going for.

 

I really need to pay attention to those that bring up old threads. 2017? Really? Start a new topic, please?

 

haha I wish I would have noticed the OP's post date before I even posted. Good call here!

 

I prefer the Menace over Gangsters myself due to the hooks and they push forward. Look sharp. I wonder if any bike shops in your area would have rides you can try for size. Just a thought 🤔
