Default what size apes?

I have a 06 Heritage softail and I want to put some Apes on it. I sat on a bike saturday with 18" and they were too tall for me. I am right at 6 foot and I was wondering if 16" would be ok? The 18"s from saturday were pushed forward so that made it even harder to reach them easy. Thanks.

Are you sure? Those bars looks chin height if I was standing next to it!

Thanks for all the response. I am looking around at 16s and hope to get some soon! If any of you know anyone that took some 16s off because they didnt like them or wanted a different size I may interested in buying them. Thanks!
