I have the LA Choppers Prime Apes which are 13's. My hands are above the fairing, but the fairing does a great job of deflecting and re-directing most anything up and over your hands. I ride in all weather and temps and they are just fine.
12" PYO Monkey Bars, the Monkey Bars tend to run higher based on the research I did. So basically my 12's measure out at 14. Either way the comfort and the attitude are frigging awesome!

I think 10" are a waste of money. Not that much different from stock. I tried several different brands and settled on the Cyclesmith 13s. Yes it Def helped with the shoulder.

i have 10" Monkey Bars and i LOVE them, and i'm pretty sure they weren't a "waste of money"....
I'm 5'6" and the bars are at a nice height in relation to my shoulders and my hands don't stick up above the fairing, which in the colder months is nice...

IN MY OPINION!!!! The best thing to do is find a bike at a bike night or at your local dealer and try them out. I was fortunate to be able to ride 4 different bikes with various different brand bars. I was going with WOs until I tried the Cyclesmiths. Try as many you can!
