They are built a little straighter than most so your wrists are straighter. I'm 5'10" and my hands are right at heart level.
Jag,
Your bars look awsome. I saw your pic albums- now you can add one with your apes. I think the apes make all the difference. Killer ride bro........

The whole handlebar kit came from Hill Country Customs, they make there own bars, as far as installing they it took me about 9 hrs, but I'm slow.

here is a youtube video of 18" apes. i dont know but i am assuming they are wid one chubby. i ordered the 18'' CC version which are the exact same dimensions except the pullback on the CC's is 8" and the wild chubbys is 12.5" i went with the CC representatives advice because they do sell and install these everyday. i am 6"2 and he and i felt that the 18S would be right. a few other on here with 16"s commented to me that they wish they would have gone with the 18"s. since i got the 18s i can always downsize to the 16"s, but if you buy 16"s and go 18" you will need to buy new wires all again.. i am still worried they will be too tall but i will soon find out and let you know. notice in this video that the guy has his pushed forward quite a bit. its a big diffence if you bring them back towards you.. man i just realized i talk to much on here and i can not wait for this snow to meltand go ride this d@mn thing.

Now why did you have to go and post that you tube video. Wow, that really makes me want to go ride the bike right now. One problem, its about 15 degrees outside. Seeing those apes on that bike makes me want to ride first off, secondly, really makes me want to get those apes ASAP!
