When you go, go big. Nothing less than 16"!

16's. You won't regret it. On my last bike I had 16's on 2" risers and loved them. I'm saving right now to put some 16's on my RKC.

Hey there.
I'm 6' and I have Burly gorilla apes on my FLHR.
They are plenty high and I wouldn't go any higher.
But that's just me.

17's on my RKC and love the height, just having a bear of a time squaring away my seating position with my seat.

Try and find someone to let you sit on their bike, or go to a couple of dealerships until you find a bike with them. I'm 6'2" and was torn between 18" and 16" got lucky and a buddy just put 18" on his ride. just seemed a little too high for me, lucky I did that or I woulda got 18" and been unhappy.
