I have to agree with the other guys, I wouldn't waste the time going with 10's. I went with the Yaffe Monkey bars and love them but if I were to do it again i would probably go with the Cyclesmith 13's which is closer to 12. A buddy of mine has them on his SG and they look awesome plus you can find them on Ebay with everything you need at a pretty good price. The Yaffe bars are supposed to be 12's but mine measured out at 13.

I made a set of 10's for my bike.I wasn't looking for the apes look just wanted them a bit closer with better wrist position.I'm glad I did they feel so much better then stock.You can use your brake line if you take your time and bend it,your stock clutch will work if you reroute it and the wires are plenty long but you will need new cables.Now my bike is an 07 so if yours is different I cant say what will work.JMHO hope it helps.
