I think my 13" PYO Monkey bars were a tad shorter than my 13" CS maybe an inch or so. not great pictures but maybe you can see the difference. I don't think you would be able to see much out of your fairing mount miorrors with the PYO 13". I used the Kuryakyn windshield mount mirrors and made some 3" extentions to bring them up and they worked and looked great.

I had some 10 inch Monkey Bars put on this winter. Bike isn't done yet so I didn't take any pics. I have bar mounted mirrors. From the looks of it, fairing mount mirrors wont work well.

How tall are you guys that are running the 13" bars. I want a set but I'm 5-10 so I am considering whether to buy 10's o 13's. What is your advice on the issue?

I'm 6'.0" and the 13" are just right.

I am interested in getting some higher bars for mine too. I really like the monkey bars and that they can be ordered to desired height. My one thing is, I dont want my hands up in the wind. How tall of bars do I need to get the most ergonomic feel while still shielding my hands? I am currently 6'1" from 6'2" due to compressed disks.

I am 5'11 and my arms are 90 degrees from my torso. So to me 13" are dead in the middle

I am still working on my bike and haven't started putting everything back together yet, so there is not windscreen to visualize etc.........also these were with my cell and the quality is blah!

Notice in my picture and nitechecker's who has 14" Yaffe bars how the heights look darn near similar and the amount we have the bars pulled back looks similar as well

As I said, setting on the bike, they feel GREAT!!!! I am 5'11"
