Default Yaffe "Classic Bagger" Bars: 10" or 12"?

6'1". 34-35 inch sleeve. I own a 2011 SG, with Sundowner seat. I want Yaffe "Classic Bagger" bars, but which ones (I understand that Yaffe bars run about 1 inch taller than the package size)?

Here I am sitting on a 2012 SG (stock seat), fitted with HD 12" Batwing Mini-Apes, which are rolled a bit back toward me:



Ideally, I would like my hands higher and a bit closer to me.

I would go at least 12's.

I just put the 12" bars on mine. They are just above the mirrors and don't block my ability to see the mirrors. They made my arms alot more comfortable over the stock bars.

Hmmm... With the Yaffe's, I don't think I'd go more than 12's.

What are those in your avatar?
