I fought this mentally and finally caved. I put 10 inch apes with black tribal mirrors and it looks awesome and I can see even better. Don't let the fairing mirrors dictate your bar height it's not that big of a deal.

I have Yaffe 10" bars and I can use my mirrors, but I have to kind of lift my elbows.....I usually turn and look while in motion.

I installed 14" HHI Reapers and have no issue seeing my mirrors.

  If you think you want 10's go with 12's imho !

Sidenote...With Yaffe, Lower Rise = Higher bar height compared to the completion i.e. 10's are closer to like most 12's

WoW!   no  one even asked him how tall or short he is.   I suggest you go to a dealer or bike show where you can sit on a bike and figure out whats

good for YOU.   ;)  I have 16's  carlini's  on my bike.  I'm also 6 foot 2.    :)   a  friend of mine is 5 foot 10  and  feels very uncomfy riding my bike.

     They  fit  me  Perfect.    :-*

Yaffe 14' monkey bars on mine. I can use the mirrors with no issues. 

Yaffe run a bit taller than they say.

Factory 47 in 14" were much shorter than Yaffe. 

Measured the factory 47's were closer to 13 inches than the 14 they were suppose to be, and the Yaffe 14's were right at 15 inches.
