They look GREAT!
I'm looking at getting apes this upcoming winter, provided I have the funds for it. I had been trying to decide between 14s and 16s. I am 6'1" as well. Seeing your pic, I think I'm all for the 16s now. Those 17s look perfect for you. I wouldn't change them!
Congratulations!
Now that you have that fender out of the way, might as well get some bigger wheels, eh?

Haha! That's what I'm looking at doing (potentially) within the next month or so.
So far, it seems that a SERT (Screaming Eagle Race Tuner) is a must. There are other items out there that will do, but I want more than that. Might as well spend the money where it counts.
As far as a cleaner and pipes, there are just way too many items to choose from. I've narrowed my search down to one cleaner (finally) and about 3 different pipes. I'm terrible at making decisions...
My main fear with going to 16s is that supposedly, the springer front-end on my bike lifts the bars up more than on a traditional front-end, like yours. I'm still not settled on whether that is true or not. I've never been able to test out apes on a springer. However, with other bikes, I LOVE the feel of 16s. I'm afraid I'd risk going too high. However, if I can swing the funds, I will definitely go with 16s this winter. I definitely do not want to go too short.

torn between those two bikes, the Fatty and the Dyna, great looking rides and sweet apes.
