Twin Peaks
Looking at the La Choppers twin peaks for my street glide. I can't decide between the 10" or 12" I'm 5'7". I have sat on bike holding up hands in both positions both are comfortable.
Depends on your torso, arm length, seat rear or forward positioning and height.
I would say 12" or 14".

I went with the 12 on my 2015 street glide and didn't need cables or wire extensions. I did have reroute the wires tho. If you don't want to reroute buy the extensions. Like other have said your arm length is important. I have the bars tilted back towards me as far as they can go without hitting the tank. I would really like the bars if they had a inch or so more pull back. If you go with the 10 your stock mirrors will be useless. With the 12 inch you can still use your stock mirrors but you have to move your arm a little to see.
To make wiring the bars easier get some wire lube.
Which ever bars you go with, go with the next size taller bars then what you think you will want. I was going to go with the 10 inch but went with the 12 inch and glad I did

I'm looking at the twin peaks as well for my RK. I'm about your height, but I like my hands to be below my shoulders. Interested in what you get.

10's on my 13 SG
Wanted my hands protected by the fairing from the wind/rain. Have them rolled back as far as they will go without hitting the tank. I'm 6'. Yes stock mirrors are useless.

I have the 12" twin peaks on my 14 Glide. I'm about 5'8" or so and I think they are about the perfect height. The only harness I bought was an 8" extension for the throttle by wire by NAMZ and rerouted the brake line. My hands end up being just about shoulder height and I still use the factory mirrors. Hope this helps.
