We just did 2700 miles in 7 days....with 1800 of those miles in 3 days after leaving Sturgis. I have 10” Twin Peaks and all worked out well. Hands behind the fairing is a must for me. I’m 6’1” and ride a Russell Day Long seat which sits me a bit higher than stock. I also changed to a 11” Ultra Wide shield for the trip. My right hand tends to tingle a bit after a while, but cruise control solves that issue. Funny thing...I never have the problem with my left hand.

But you have superior shocks too
Same here, right hand tingles but has on every Harley I’ve owned. Weird.

yeah..that’s pretty much the case here. I like the 10” bars as I can lean forward and rest my arms on the grips and put my hands on the top of the fairing.
I've had the 12" Twin Peaks on my '15 SGS for almost 3 years now. The longest distance I've ridden is 500 miles. For some reason, I just can't seem to get completely comfortable. I think I'm going to install the 10" Twin Peaks and sell the 12". Not crazy about running the wires through the bars again but oh well, it really wasn't that bad if you're patient. I'll probably install heated grips while I'm running wires in the bars.
Anyone have 10" Twin Peaks? How do they feel compared to stock? I believe stock is a 7.5" rise.
Since Daytona Bike Week is two weeks away, I'll probably do it when I get back. If anyone is looking for 12" Twin Peaks in perfect condition, shoot me a PM. I'll probably ask $180.
Did you end up selling those twin peaks? Sorry if you did and I didn’t see. New to the forum so not great and navigation yet.
I put 12" on my 08 ultra, wasn't quite perfect but was really close. Changed the seat and BOOM perfection. I would at least try out a different seating position with a seat to see if that would work. Only 1 bolt vs the entire front end.

No way I’d get rid of my Corbin Classic Solo, best seat ever.
Changing the bars isn’t that difficult, just time consuming. Plan on spending an afternoon and a few beers along with some swearing when routing the wires.
I still haven’t done it but may do it before Daytona Bike Week - if I don’t sell the bike before then.
I went with 10", I think I would be more comfortable with 12" but it doesn't feel bad how it's now with 10". I am 5' 11", with 21" front wheel/tire it rides very nice......
