Default Actual bagger ape heights

Could I get some input as to the Actual Height of apes on baggers? I can't decide between 10, 12, or 14. I'm thinking around 11 would be right for me. Does anybody know the true height of the various bars. Putting them on 2014 ultra limited. Oh does the diameter matter or effect the handling any way?

these are 10" Harley tallboy touring bars. they keep your hands behind the fairing and I thought would have been great but I didn't like the way the my hands sat on the bars, they just needed alittle more angle.


these are the Paul Yaffe 10" classic touring apes. hands are just above the fairing but most of the air still goes over my hands. I have only had these on for 100 miles but they seem very comfortable.

most all the yaffe classic bagger apes run tall. so if you're looking at 10's they're 11.5 ish... 12's are 13.5 ish.
