here's some Wild One 575's if you can see them from this angle. Set just below the fairing. Just right for me. I think they are av10 inch rise.

12"s put your hands about 3" above the fairing. You can use your mirrors but will have to replace cables and lines. 10"s right at the top. You will need mirrors, some replace the clutch line. Neither needs wiring extended. I would not waste my time with 8"s. Way to much effort for a mild change.

I was apprehensive about installing apes but the shoulder pain was becoming unbearable. These are perfect for me. Super comfortable and look awesome too. Dont be afraid to go big!
