Damn, those are only 12's? How is the wrist angle? Do you think it's possible to get a side and front pic, maybe with you sitting on the bike?

I have the same Yafee bars in black and wrist angle is way better than stock. I'm 6'2" and hands are just below shoulder height but they are above the fairing, if that's a concern for you. With the 12" you can still use fairing mounted mirrors. If you go with the 10" not so much.

Here's a side and front shot, don't have one with me sitting on the bike sorry. The wrist angle is good, I'm 5' 10" and my arms are pretty much level, so much more comfortable than stock. I did a 7500 mile trip this summer and had the stock bars, took a week for me to be able to get out of bed without crawling. First thing I did was order these bars, next up is a rider backrest.
These bars were a huge pain to wire, I had to just walk away a couple times but if I can do it pretty much anyone can.

14 Handlbars both KST and Wild one chubby bars
Middle is my bike with the KST 14 and right bike is wifes with 14 wild one chubby.
I had the yaffe12 on my last bike and after going to the KST I will never go back to monkey bars.

13" LA Choppers Prime Apes. Stock clutch/brake cables. Soldered my own wire extensions. Ended up changing out the stock mirrors as they were somewhat obscured by the switch housings. These bars are a touch shorter than Yaffe 12" mbb's but are a few inches wider. I'm 5'-10" tall and they are just below shoulder level. Pretty comfy. Low speed maneuvering took a little getting used to, but otherwise happy. Like any bars with a bend, internal wiring was a PITA. This was first set I ever did so next time should be easier. I also went with the Screamin Eagle TBW to make running its wires a little easier. I bought them from a local shop M&M Leather. Great place.

Bushpilot- mind if I ask why, anything beyond just a personal preference? This is the first bike I've ever changed bars on so I'm not real familiar with all this.
