Put them on. You will love them. My 10's measured more like 11 or 12 and the 12's measure more like 13. You will be glad you didn't get 10's. I think after I got mine, they would have not been tall enough for the look I was going for.

Well, I put them on today, and I must say even though I can not ride yet (bike isnt tuned), the bars are BADASSSSSS!! They look killer and seem like they will be comfortable as hell!

As far as wiring goes, It did only take me two hours, this is a quick explanation of how I did it. I wrapped the wiring in electrical tape to protect it inside the bars. I used metal wire (the type that is used to hang pictures with, but a little thicker) you can purchase this by the foot at lowes or Home depot. I fished it through the bars from the top to the bottom, then I made a loop on the end of the metal wire and put it through a gap that I made in the last 3 inches of the factory wiring (basically created a chaineffect with the wires and metal wire) then I taped it up real tight, but dont make it too fat or it wont be able to pull through the bends. I then tied the metal wire to an eye hook on my work bench so i can hole the bars in one hand and push the wiring through the bars as I just pulled away from the workbench (basically using the workbench as a third hand. I used plenty of glide electrical lube and WD40 in the bars. just keep on push feeding and wiggling the wires into the bars as you are pulling the wire from the bottom. once you get the inital lump at the end of the wires past that point at the top, its smooth sailing.

Yes they do but even more important, the change the entire feel, in a MUCH better way. I can't imagine riding with stock bars now and I really didn't hate them.
