Default Road Glide with menace apes

Thinking about throwing on either 12 or 14" menace apes onto my bike. Just wondering if anyone has gone for those heights and if they needed to change the lines? I am actually quite comfortable with the stock height. So a 12 would probably suffice. Wanted to get other opinions before I jump on that.

Also I know the 15s and 16s went to a 1.25" clamp. Is it the same for 2017?

Thanks in advance!

17 is still 1.25" you can go to 14 with no line changes. Mine are 12. Easy install.

Are you over at roadglide.org. we have a pretty extensive handlebar thread.

Registered. No email there. Thanks for the heads up on the 14s though. How do you like the 12s compared to the stock bars?

Love them. The 9" height on the stock bars wouldn't have been that bad if it weren't for the wrist angle. I couldn't take it. The 12" is a perfect middle ground for me as far as looks and function. I know 14 would be just as good. But I'm not a fan of the bars a lot higher than the fairing. These fit the bill and are super comfortable. I'm 5'10"
