I'm 6'2". 16's on my Bike. I tried 18's and they were a tad too much.

I put 10" mini apes from Wild1 on my Heritage. They are very comfortable for me and a good quality product.

Get nasty, go with at least 18's It looks like you have your touring bike already, so why not do something a lil different with your around town bike??

Bought it that way so I couldn't say but I would imagine it's not too difficult. The signals double as windshield mount as well...

Looks like you got a lot of good answers. I went with wild 1's on my bike. I don't know how they would compare with the other models that have been mentioned to you, but I like the beefier 1 1/4" bars over the stock bars. Good luck and I know that no matter which ones you choose you will like the apes better than the stock bars, many seem to.
