I am 1.76 meters tall , and I use 16 inch Apes on 4 inch risers , and I absolutely love the way they look , the way they handle , everything !!

You can see the way they fit on my signature , although I have to mention that I cut off a bit of padding on my OEM seat , making it a bit thinner , therefore I seat a bit lower than with the OEM seat

So Loko -

You're 5 feet and 9.29133864 inches tall...

Good to know!

btw - does chingadaso mean what my idiot friend from Mexico City says it does? He says that this is as good nickname for a semi-pro fighter... Watcha think?

When I first met him he said a good nickname would be pinche maricon. I've since realized that he was joking, and call him this all the time.

Ummm...my Spanish isn't perfect, and I can't speak for Loko, but if I got all that correctly, that fighter would be just as "well" off calling themself "El Pinche Pendejo"...

NO!

16 inch Kong Bars on 4 inch riser. I'm 6'1". I agree with those who suggest 16's, I'm so happy with mine and I know now that if I went shorter that I'd be buying new bars after little while. No one has given me any grief over the hight of my bars, even in SC. When in doubt, I just sit up stright, scoot back a bit so my butt is raised on the back of the seat. Don't know if that had done any good but like I said, no tickets, no problem. Welcome to the Road Star Clinic's Ape Hanger Division.
