I was looking to install ape hangers too. I took my que from Jared and went with the Santee bars. I love them! I'm 6'2" as well. About 1 hour into a ride I would start to feel fatigue in my upper back and my hands would start to go numb. Not after I put these bars on! The nice thing is that you can rotate them back if you want them closer to you. The angle of the grip gives you a pretty good amount of adjustment.

And don't be afraid to run the wires internally! Jared did a great job of illustating how to do the job. It's time consuming, but the bars look so much cleaner that I think it was definatily worth it.

Good luck and let us know what you think of them when you get them on.
