Summitgmc and Trykon, are you sure you two both have 10" Twin peaks? I have been looking at the Twin peaks 10" vs 12" and keep finding conflicting pictures of where the bars will fall to try to figure out what to get for my 17s with me being 5'8". Both of your bikes are Rushmores. It could be camera angle but Trykon your bars go almost flush with the top of the fairing, and Summitgmc yours look 2" below the top of the fairing. It doesn't appear that Summitgmc has his bars pulled back a lot, so it makes me think that either Trykon has 12's and Summitgmc has 10's, or Trykon has 10's and summitgmc has 8's.
I run the Twin Peaks 12", and knuckles are just above the fairing but not bad at all. I retained the use of the faring mounted mirrors as well, but with the 10"' you would need new or relocated mirrors. You have to look under, which for me works fine.
I don't know about Trykon's, but I'm sure mine are 10". As far as pullback, the risers are about 1 1/2' from the bottom of the speakers, at their closest point to the fairing, which I think is about normal. The top of the grips sit about 2" below the edge of the fairing, knuckles will sit about even with the fairing. I wouldn't stress too much, I'm also 5'8", the 10's are great and so would the 12's. Neither ones will be out of your reach or make you feel like you're stretching. In my case, I'm glad I got the 10's. I don't think my harness would have reached the plugs, even after rerouting the wires inside the fairing, and the hydraulic lines are also stretched to the max, even after spinning them forward on the reservoirs.
