I think 12"sovereign 10s..... But it's all preference. I'm 5'6" and always had beach bars..... Rode my father in laws bike with 14s and they felt great....
I ordered me 16s, and they might be just a tad too tall.... But I don't think you will complain that the 12s are too tall at all.....

BTW, if you do go 10's you only need a clutch cable. Everything else reaches just fine.
Need info on the above statement from those that installed 10's. I am in the process of getting ready to order them and have sent a request to Barnett for a quote on all the cables. I plan on running the wiring and cables just like they came from the factory(outside). do you have to lenthen the front brake hose's, etc..

I ran MBB 10's. They are in my sig. Didn't touch brake line, wires were long enough, and I went +2 on clutch cable. I ran all my wiring internal. Why would you not run it internal??? Makes all the difference in the world to have all those wires out of sight!
Leeme know if I can be of more help...

Remember that when the thought finally hits you....damn I shoulda gone taller ( its inevitable just wait).
Great post!
Yup and yup. As far as comfort go's everyone says go one size higher. You can pull them towards you if needed which will bring them closer and have the effect of shortening them.
Mike and I are totally on the same page here with looks. Looks-wise the 10's are perfect. They are right at the fairing and I don't like the looks of going higher (personal opinion of course). Since I am 6 ft. and do want my arms higher I am looking very seriously at the FBI drop seat kit so I can lower my *** which will have the effect of higher bars.
BTW, if you do go 10's you only need a clutch cable. Everything else reaches just fine.
Just to make sure I don't seem like I'm flip-flopping: If you like the looks of the 12's do it. Make sure to post pics when ur done.

I went with the WO578 (10") and the clutch cable just has to be changed. The wiring has to be put inside the bars becasue there is no dimple for the wires to go underneath for the controls to tighten. I went with 10's because I wanted my hands still behind the fairing

I'm 6"2 and I oredered the 10s. Rode a SG with 10s on and they felt right. I like the tall bars on all touring models, but I wanted something that is near the fairing for a cleaner look.
