Hey Kerry- I'm 5'7 and have 14" carlini's on mine with a 1.5" riser. Supposedly the carlini's are about the height I other brands 16"ers.

 

Have you done many long miles days? repeatively? Am trying to determine if these things will be good for long trips; that's mainly why i ride.

 

I haven't done more than 300 in a day since I got em, but after 300 I was fine. I usually set the throttle lock and relax once we hit the open road.

Not sure if you remember me, but I work with John L down here in Texas. I still need to make the trip north with him someday

 

Not Becky's husband? Thought that was Darrin. Wait, you the guy who stunted??

 

I'm 6 foot even and have 18's on my bike...I've done 400 in a day with these and was fine. Now, I do have some monkey arms so 18's are an easy reach for me.

I've seen some pretty short guys riding bikes with 16's apes and higher without any problems...where I live seems like everybody has them...I don't think a long ride with 16's should be a problem.

 

i have 16s pulled forward on the deluxe and im 6ft ....real comfortable man...you wont regret it

 

I like the drag bars till I got this bike with the 10 inch apes what a change over the drag bars. Ill never go back I like having no neck pain lol

 

Make sure your state laws are OK with that height. I am 6 foot and that's close to shoulder height. I'm happy with my mini's right now, but am thinking about 12 ot 13s. We'll see.

 

I'm about 6'1".
Love my 16" Carlini's. I would never go back to drag bars.

Don't know about 700 miles in a day as Okinawa is only about 60 miles long.
Can't wait to get back to the states.........

 

Yup, I had the stunt bike.
