I'd guess 12s you being 5'9, but what you can do sit on the bike with your arms straight out or how ever you want to ride and have someone else run a tape from the riser to your hand. Should give you rough idea.

Also check the width. Narrows are designed for sportster front ends. "narrow glides ". Of you put them on your bike IMO it will look silly. Need a wider base for a mid glide.
