6'4" 260 here and I feel fine on my 883c. Even with the forwards on though, I have my legs bent at pretty close to 90*

The bars feel fine... I wouldn't look at apes unless you actually feel uncomfortable. I do have a 6' 3" (measured for a class) wingspan too so I don't have wierd short arms.

5'11, 230 - 883C feels good - I got mine with forward controls - I don't know how much more comfortable they are (never tried the mids) but I like them.

6'2" and 205. I love my 883C (forward pegs), Sundowner seat (a bit higher than stock), and highway pegs on a crash bar. I have have Electra Glides, Softtails, Dynas and Jap junk. Granted, I'm seventy, but I love the handling on the Sporty, and its comfy up til about 75 mph - with a detachable windshield. Ned Adams
