My dealer told me the Yaffe 10" are equivalent to 12" bars of most other brands. By looking at the pictures of BlueTK's nice looking bike his 10" Yaffe's are above the fairing compared to my 10" LA Choppers in the post above which are pretty much even with the top of fairing. I don't know how true this is but my dealer told me if I went with the Yaffe's I would have to extend cables and wiring but they did not with the 10" LA's.

I'm 5'-10". It is a bit of a reach but I could rotate them back some. Brake and clutch cables are stock. Throttle grip sensor was replaced with CVO version.

Let's see your apes
I finished installing my 10" Khrome Werks 1 1/4" Bagger Bobber Apes last night. They are taller than most 10" bars I've seen. Installation was straightforward and only took me about 4 hours total...not bad for my first bar install. I extended the switch wiring but the clutch and brake cables worked after a bit of re-routing. I deleted the fairing mirrors and went with bar mount mirrors. Took it for a spin today and they feel great...my biggest issue with the stock bars was wrist angle. My hands would fall asleep on longer rides. Hopefully I'll be able to do a longer ride to test the bars this weekend but so far they feel great.

FYI my dealer had the Krome werks in stock and compared to the LA Choppers they had a lot more sweep or pull back, I went with LA's because I wanted a straighter bar. With that being said you would probably like the Krome werks because they have more pull back so less "reaching" than straighter bar.

That is entirely possible. The cables feel pretty tight. I'd rather opt for +4 for more flexibility. I agree with other opinions that the 10" Yaffe is similar to 12" in other makes. They came out higher than I initially thought.
