What would you guys recommend for me? I'm 6'4 and wear a 37/38 sleeve. Was thinking 16" height but not sure if that would be too low. I sat on a RKC with 12's last week and they were too low. Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm 6'3". My 18's with stock RKC seat and highway pegs is like a lazy boy!

Awesome! I'm installing a sundowner seat on mine so I should be a little lower than stock. 18s look awesome, I think I'm going with some carlini pist apes.

I've riden WO518s on my RK classic for several years - very comfortable -- I'm 6'0". Only thing is the extra lean fwd/ long reach needed to maneuver in tight spaces.

Looks great!! Here's my 2004 FLHPi with the 518's (a few years ago).

My question is what are the highest bars and please include a WO # if possible I can put on my '06 SG w/o having to change the cables. I am thinking that I would like to get about 4-5" of rise because then I could lay them back a little and that would make them perfect but I don't know how much extra length there is on the stock cables...any help would be appreciated...

I had Santee 11" Apes on my Road King, stock cables. Clutch cable was okay, but just a tad bit taught. Those or the Wild One 10" apes would be my guess for ape hangers.

Give Chubby Wild Ones a call and talk to their tech guys. They're extremely helpful in making the right handlebar choice, as well as advising you on what length cables you'll need for your model bike. Talk directly to the source:

I just installed Wild ones Mini-apes, and found out Heat Demons won't work without
compromising the handlebar. the I.D. is at .825 and in order for the Heat Demons to work they need to be at .875, Wild Chubby's said they won't do it, which means they think they this isn't safe. I won't do it either.
Heat Demons states their in development of a new Heat Demon that will work.
I don't see how but that's them, I wish Heat Demons the best of luck or their R&D.
on this grip heater.
I don't want the Harley brand, had bad luck with them going bad! wasted lots of money.
