After reading the old post and newer post, I'm wondering if I made the correct choice in ape height?

I had 18s gangster on my last bike and they were above my shoulders, but I'm 6'5''. This time around I went with 16s gangsters. I will be sitting low too with barebones seat. Just hope they are "tall" enough or I may have a brand new set of cables and 1.5 inch black, carlinI gangster apes for sale, real soon
