What I have read, that Yaffes are a couple of inches taller than other apes? I think the 10" Yaffes are comparable to 12" apes. Your 12 seems to ride a few inches above the fairing. I am 5'8" so I am thinking 10"Yafees or 12" Mayhems.

I am 5'8" & they do not have my hands at shoulder level (probably a inch or two lower)

My winter project is Ape bars.I find it hard to make a choice of what to get due to companies measure them different.Plus the width is wider than stock.I want to use my stock mirror so i will go 14" with stock looking radius's

Bars look good. Great looking CVO. I went with 10" yaffes to stay inside the fairing. One of my favorite upgrades, style and comfort wise.

I have classic bagger 12" by Yaffee and I had to get rid of fairing mirrors. Love the feel though.

Cruise control was my #1 Upgrade, the bars 2nd, the seat 3rd. or that could be the rider backrest.
