Im 6'0" and I went with WO 577 12.5 inches. You should try to sit on a few bikes at a bike night or a weekend at the dealer's. I'm sure there will be riders that will let you sit on their bikes to get a feel for the height you are looking for. Good luck in your search.

I'm 5'11" and went with the WO575's. I'm very happy with them. The pain between the shoulder blades has been significantly reduced, but not totally eliminated. I think that my choice in seat (Mustang super solo vintage) bears some of the blame cuz it moves me back a little more than the stock seat. I went with the 575's so I didn't have to change cables, but I did have to pull the clutch cable out of the fairing which to me isn't a big deal. I also didn't want the bars to be above the fairing like the 577's. Oh...as far as the mirror's being partial obstructed by your hands, I just moved the fairing mirrors up about a half inch. The holes from the original mount location are still covered by the mirror base.

6'2" with 575s. Love 'em. The 577s might be more comfortable for me, but I'd rather have my hands behind the fairing in the winter.

I'm 6'4" and the 575s are a huge improvement over stock. I actually would like another inch or so of height, but I had 12" apes on the RK I traded in and I got tired of those after a while. The 577s are wider than the apes I had, but I still wanted to try a lower bar than the 577s. I think for your height the 575s will be good.
