I'll tell you what fatigued me. Sitting on top of my Road Glide and leaning forward and down to reach the bars. I put a seat on that lowered me 11/4" and set me further back 1". 13" apes and now I can put 600 miles a day on easily!
Is that a C&C seat?

The apes are absolutely comfy. The stock bars hurt my back and the 16's are very natural. My hands are shoulder height or just below and I would agree that higher could get uncomfortable on a long ride. 300+ miles is not an issue.

Can you lengthen the brake line on an 08 abs bike? Want to move to the ape side

These are 13"

Look (IMHO) and feel great.

I have 14" apes on my RG and did a 1200 mile weekend a couple weeks ago. It was night/day difference in comfort for me. I love mine.

I have Wild 1's 513's on my 08 RG. I'm kinda happy with them, but feel at 35 or so inches, they are too wide for me. I also wanted a bit more rise in the bars. I thought about 515's, but they are definitely too wide. Maybe Wild 1's RG bars at 31 inches wide, would fit the bill. Handlebars are a bitch too get right.... Thank God for Ebay.

I have 13" Cyclesmiths....awesome...makes long rides easier. The increased height has no effect wind buffeting to your hands.
