Default Wild 1 8 inch or 10 inch pull back drag bars?

Think I've narrowed my search, to the two bars. I like the height of my mini apes but not the reach. I am only 5'7". The stock bars are around 10 inches of rise plus about an inch of riser. Logically it seems that the 10 inch wild 1's would make sense plus they have more pull back than the 8 inch. But part of me thinks that since 10" is the longest model they offer that maybe I'm missing something and these will be way too tall?

Anyone have these or tried them in my height?

Thanks!

I looked at the wild 1s too before I settled on my carlini bars. Im almost possative that the 8" have more pullback then the 10". The 8" have more pullback then your mini apes. I mocked up the 7" and they were about 2" closer and 1-2" lower than your stock mini apes. Hope this helps

Actually it helps a ton thanks! The main thing is if the 8 inch have more pull back than the mini apes. Which carlini's did you go with?

I ended up going with the 5" cleansweaps. I was torn between the 5" and the 7". Love the look of the 5" on my bike but I do have to stretch a little. But they are alot more comfortable then the mini aps for me.
