I installed the 12.5 bars and could not be happier with them. I am 5' 11" and the 12.5 bars put my hands level with the top of my shoulders. My bike is an 09 SG with the stock seat. Hope this helps.
Wondering why everyone says to go one size taller on apes than you think you want. I'm getting Yaffe Monkey bars. I was thinking 10".
So. Do you say this for comfort reasons or looks?
Thanks.
With 10's you won't have to get extended cables and brake lines anything more and you will. I have 12's I'm only 5'9" and I wouldn't trade em for anything. Best money I spent on that hole in the water I keep throwing money into
Kesean, I like that look. When going with the 10"s, do you need to replace the cables with longer ones or will the stock set work?? Really, really want to go that route but replacing all the cables looks like a lot of work.
No need to replace cables on 10's. But all the wiring will need to be extended obviously. Ever internally wired bars. It's a pain in the a$$. Took me 6 hours

I installed 10" PYO bagger bars.....wiring does need to be extended, but I was able to use stock brake/clutch.....however, I did re-route the clutch cable under the fairing, mirrored the brake, and is actually better than through, as it has much smoother curve.
