Put a set of 14" on mine bout 2 yrs ago. Rode 2 times, took them off. Just didn't like mine hands that far above the batwing.

I know people ridding with 10" and 12.5" and they both love them. They say way more comfortable than stock.

I put Burly Brand 13" Bagger Throttle By Wire Ape Hangers on mine - very pleased!  Height is good and the pullback is perfect.

I have a set of Yafee 12" Monkey Bars on my 2011 CVO Streeglide (It's not an Ultra but pretty close) They are actually 13 1/2". And yes, I can see my fairing mounted mirros.

I'm 5'-8" tall with a 30" inseam.

I really love the height. Way more comfortable. But the best thing is the extra leverage you get when picking the bike up off the stand. You will like that, especially if you get the bike a little too leaned over!

I have 12" Bagger Bars on mine and they are the perfect height for me. Much better than the stock bars, not too tall or too short.

Put 14" Wild One apes on mine. One of the best mods I have done. Love the way they feel and the way they look. Bike handles great also.

I installed Wild1 578" in 10". They leave your hands behind fairing, and still gives a better riding experience. Didn't like my hands down low with the stock bars.

Check out the bars...

I have 14" HCC apes on my '11 CVO Ultra.  Very comfortable!  I have apes on all my bikes (18" Wild Ones on a Heritage and 17" on a Deluxe).  The grips on the CVO Ultra are roughly 1-2" above the fairing but well below my shoulders.  The heated grips come in handy when riding long distances in 30-40 degree weather.

No hurry here Stu. I haven't even ordered cables yet. I literally have MONTHS to start and finish this. I really enjoy these upgrades. Love being able to say I did my own work. The end result is such a good feeling. Helps me get throught the off-season. It is snowing right now.  8)
