6'4" here and have 16's on my '09 RK. I can ride all day with no problems (and I'm an 'old guy')

 

I'm 5'9" and I had 16's installed on my Road King and LOVE them. Perfect fit for me can't believe I hemmed and hawed as long as I did before buying them

 

I went 14s wish i would have went 16 at least

 

6'-0" with 16" cyclesmiths on my streetglide and love them. Almost went 13's and glad I didn't.

 

6'1" and have 16's.Perfect

 

6'3" and 255 with a 34" inseam , 577 for me

 

16s.
I wouldn't have minded 18s either.
I'm 6'2.

 

I am 5'11" and went with 14" Wild1 Chubbies with 1.5" risers.

 

Yes and no. With the shield on, the difference between 14" and 16" would be 2 inches of height. Now of course, you could still have them "away" from the shield more and essentially the hand placement would be lower.

For me, I tilt them back with the shield on during long trips, and when the shield is off, push them forward...adding what feels like 2" of height...ya know...more stretched out arms and a slight tilt of the grip angle.

...wow...tough picture to paint with words...
