I am 5'8 and had the 14s. Those are some the most comfortable bars out there. I would go 14s

I'm 5'10" went with 12" bars. 14" would have been comfortable too. I just hate the look way above the fairing.

I have them on my 08 sg. 5'11" and I'll tell ya you won't be disappointed with the 14". They are very comfortable. They also change the whole way the bike handles. For the better of course.

I went with the 12" on mine and love it. I didn't want the 14" bars over the fairing either.
