12.5" Apes or 16"

RE: 12.5" Apes or 16"
I had 16" wild one chubbies on my 05 RKC, they felt great!
I am only 5'5, but also had a mustang solo seat on it, which raised me up higher than stock. It sounds strange to have apes on a bagger, but check around the net, I did, and was able to find several good pics of road kings with 16" apes on them.

I ran with 16" apes on my 02 RK, put close to 55,000 miles,including a 8125 mile and a 10,045 mile trip,very comfortable no problems. Installed cruise control for the 10,045 mile ride but did not use it much. I am 5'10", when sitting uppracticinggood posture (witch is not veryoften)my arms were straight outshoulder high. Was able to have bars tilting slightlyforward with winshield installed.
I traded my RK for an 07' SG, love the SG but miss my RK big time!!!. I will be riding to Alaska this June and may buy backthe RK for the ride.
Go with the 16" you will not regret it
