Need advice on handlebars

10" bars are as high as you can go and still have functioning stock SG mirrors. Any higher and your hands will block the mirrors and render them useless. 12" bars will get you just barely high enough to peek under your hand controls and have a limited view from your mirrors and your hands will be right at the top edge of the fairing. There are lots of threads on handlebars loaded with pics and descriptions of their bars. I suggest you use the search function and go from there.

16" cyclesmiths on my 06, changed a few things since I took these pics. I can still use stock mirrors, however needed to extend the wiring. FYI this wasn't a simple overnight task and HD charges a pretty penny for it. There are threads covering this which are a great help. Once you do it once, it becomes easier, practice on someone else's bike!
EDIT: Sorry saw you wanted your hands behind the fairing, I'd suggest 12-14s then, 12 to be safe.

I have the 10" Twin Peaks and had to add mirros to the bars because the stock mirrors were useless. You can use the stock mirrors with 12" or longer bars but you will be above the fairing and in the cold weather and your hands will be exposed to the cold air. I tried using the stock mirrors without success.
