Im 5'7" also running 12 with 1.5 risers. My bike rear is lowered so I sit back and low.. bars are at my shoulders.. Take a look at BR custom, he will make you whatever you want..

I'm 5'6" and have a 29-30 in. inseam. I went with the 12" Carlini Flyin Apes with the High Roller Risers. They actually measure close to 14 in. high. These bars are exactly what I wanted. My hands are at shoulder height for maximum comfort. Hope this helps.

5'9 with 16's with no riser... I'd say go with 14's with 2'' riser.
