im 5'2" rideing a nightster and want to put some ape hangers im thinking about 16" since i have no risers??????

 

I got the 12" HD Black Mini apes, cables and wiring. I am 6' tall and they feel great especially when they are rotated into the right position.

 

Mr. Aaron48: May I ask how much you paid? And, did the dealer install? How much was the labor? Thanks for your kind reply.

 

Aaron - I think you're the only guy on here still running a belt guard. LOL!!!!

 

I'm 5-9. I run 16" HCC's with an 1 1/2" riser. I also have unusually long arms!

 

i run 12" on mine and i like em

 

I have 10" bars, plus I have 4" extension in the frame. So that makes it about 14" tall. I am 5'4", and it feels good for me.

 

i have 12" apes. i'm 5' 11'' they are great for me. i have the pushed forward so they are straight up. don't let the dealer walk all over you. all you need is a longer clutch cable break line and turn signal harness. your stock throttle cables will fit 12'' apes. as for installing, i did it myself. took me probably 6 hrs. really isn't hard, but it is a pretty big mod so take your time and be patient. it is always fun wrenching on your own bike.

 

My buddy runs the 12" mini apes on his nighty. Hes about 5'9 and he loves them but says he is thinking about going to 16s. Im 6'1 and his bike feels comfy to me. He got the apes and the extra length clutch cable and brake line for about 70 bucks from our local hd shop, then we ran internal wiring on them (was a complete bitch but looks so good.) All of the cables and wires (outside of the clutch and brake line) still reach perfectly fine, even after the internal wiring.

 

Got em in the bike deal...installed at dealer $950.
