Im looking to put some Apes on my 09 Fatboy.. I am 6'2" with good lenth arms. Stock bars I seem to slouch and hurts my back. I am looking for Apes now and wondering what size I should get.
I"m 5-10 and when I had my fatboy i went from beach bars to 16" apes. It helped my back a lot. If I was your height I would go 18". These are 18+ on my road king and I love em.
I'm 6ft, and ride 16 inchers. I suggest no less than a 16 (or they aren't really apes!). At your height you may need to try some different lengths in different positions (tilt) to find the right one, but you'll be much happier with anything over 14-15".
I was thinking 16" or 18" also. I like the Ganster Apes. Are most of them in that price range or are they the higher end ones? I know its gonna cost a good amount
I am also 6'2", I have the 18" Carlini Gangsters on mine and I love them. In my opinion they are a tad high for my height but I like the way I ride and I do not have any discomfort as of yet. I will tell you that I had 16" apes on my previous Harley and as far as being level with the shoulders, those are a better fit. It is really all about preference and how it makes you feel. 16 or 18 is your best bet as the others have said. For me I think the 18 looks sick, especially on a Fatboy.
Go big or go home! I'm 5'6" and I'm rocking 19s on my fatboy, and no I don't have to stand up to ride. I would definitely go with 18s, you will always regret your 16" decision!
