Ordering KST mayhem tomorrow PLEASE HELP!

I am torn between the 10"or the 12" rise! I ride a 2012 street glide and I don't want to be a lot over the fairing with my hands yet I don't want to be one of those guys wishing they went higher. Any advice? Can any one tell me the true rise of these bars? I wish that there was more of a standard measurement between manufacturers. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you, Bryan

U will hear that 12s measure 14 and that's true to an extent..the bars have the point at the top right?from that point to the bottom it measures 14..from the grip to bottom it's 12..if u don't want your hands above the fairing go with 10..in one of your other 5 threads about bars I posted a pic of my bike with 14s..check it out again

I looked at your bike and numerous other pics. I see many different heights. I just love you guys that respond in seconds hanging out on the internet all night but then act like you are so put out by having to help out a poor idiot like me. Do me a favor and don't respond. I'd rather get zero responses than inconvenience you. I'm sorry my five threads about bars pisses you off.

I too was torn between 10 and 12 since KST are 10.75. I went with those since it's almost in the middle. Here's a pic.

And this is the very reason I refused to give a response to this Jackwads questions. OP once you narrow down what it is that you want, do some research here and I'm sure you can find out the answers you seek. I just don't understand the need to start thread after thread asking questions before you do your homework.

Your height and reach are a big factor here. Rise of the bars is actually pretty standard across the major brands. The reason you are seeing different heights in other bars is because of the pull back of different riders' bar position. If you want to ensure your bars will never be over the fairing, go 10". If you're a shorter guy and you will end up pulling the bars back towards your riding position, then you can maybe get away with 12" and still keep your hands behind some fairing. Im sure a lot of people have said this, and its true. I would recommend you go for comfort and not worry so much about the fairing.

Personally, I just bought 12" bars because I like the look, I know i will pull them back some, and having my hands a little in the wind won't bother me as much as my sore back and shoulders when using stock bars.

And decencyxdefied makes good points all around. Thick skin is needed man. Take the advice, limit your threads, and keep learning. Welcome to the forum.
