I'm 5' 11". My 14" bars put my arms roughly level with my shoulders.

14" Wild Ones for me. Nice piece. Good fit and finish.

FYI-

I called Wild 1 recently and they suggested +6 for both brake and clutch for their 14" bars.

Anyone else have a different opinion? I've seen some others use different sizes, but not sure if it was for a 2010.

I have 14" Wildcats custom built by Joe at Vindikta. There are more pics on his facebook page.

I'm the same height and about the same inseam and I love the fit of these. I tried sitting on a RK with 16" and my arms felt weird. I love mine, fantastic quality and looks.

The other thing that you will want to consider is how you are going to have the bars sit. If you want them tilted back like many of the bikes above, I'm not sure the ones like mine would look very good. I wasn't looking to lean back when I ride.
