I have a brand new set sitting in my garage. They are out of spec (wider than advertised) and Yaffe refused to take them back because I had installed them. I ended up going with Wild1 12.5's and they are great bars. All of their bars are handmade in Huntington Beach CA, and they were very helpful when I went up their looking for a solution to my POS Yaffe's.

I had Yaffe 14" Monkey bars on my 12 CVO road glide, loved them.
I have them also on my 13 CVO road King, still love them.
Tried to get them for my 15 CVO road glide ultra waited 6 months and gave up and went Factory 47 14", much sorter than the Yaffe bars to the point I accused them of sending me 12" bars. They are 2 inches wider than yaffe.
After much measuring I found out Yaffe run about an inch to 1.5 taller than advertised and Factory 47 are about 1 inch shorter.
I have Yaffe 14 on my 17 CVO Street glide.

I put 10" Yaffees on my SG over 4 years ago. There was a 2 month waiting period but it was dead of winter here, so no big deal. I love mine. Very comfortable, look great, get compliments everywhere I go. The chrome looks as perfect as the day I unwrapped them, I can honestly say some HD chrome parts that I put on same time or after don't look nearly as good.

Your best bet is to get the bars and fit them, then run some plastic tubing (or similar) to establish the needed lengths for the cables. That way you can be sure.

You can run 12" with the factory brake and clutch lines on a Rushmore. For the 14" you'll want +2 if you want them run fairly tight, +4 for more breathing and routing options.
