I did 10" but now I wish I would have done 12". If you can sit on someone's ride that has different sizes I would try that to hp figure it out. I am 5'9" and 10" feel good but I think 12" would be better for me. It's personal preference. Depends if you want your hands over the fairing or deleting your fairing mirrors etc.
I will let you know Thursday as I am starting first thing in the am doing 10"WO578 bars on my 14. All I bought were the H_D extensions..the TBW is my biggest concern
I put on 12'' Yaffe classic bagger bars.. Completed the project in just over 2 hrs.. Didnt have to remove the clutch or brake lines, just had to cut a few zip ties behind the fairing.
So it sounds like it's realatively easy at what height are clutch, brake, throttle cables required? I've read 12's your fine and any higher than that it maybe needed?
This is going to be my first project on my SG also....not looking forward to the wiring and praying that 12's don't need an extension...hoping to tackle it in the next few weeks.

NAMZ or Harley makes plug and play kits for like $40
What size bars did you guys do? I am looking at doing 12" apes...maybe 12.5 (Wild1 Chubbys)
I did 12". Even pulling the wire through wasn't that hard. In fact, I got to do it twice. Something about right switches on the left side and vice-versa.

You are going to need extensions for the switch wires. The stock wires will make it through the bar without extensions but they only come out of the bottom by an inch or two. Throttle wire should be okay but I extended mine anyway. I ordered all the extensions from namz at the same time.
