What are you planning to put them on, if you go that route?
If it's on a Street Glide with fairing mounted mirrors you'll need to get the bars below your line of sight to the mirrors (if that's even possible) or above your line of sight to the mirrors. My dad & I bought the Twin Peaks first in 14". The fit & finish was great however they did not have enough pull back for us. We were having to stretch to reach the bars, even with them adjusted as far back as we could get them before they would contact the fuel access cover housing. I did notice that in the picture that bike has bar mounted mirrors. I wanted to keep & use the fairing mounted mirrors on my bike, kinda like the slick look. Just food for thought. They do look very nice!

That's a great look and 10" or 12" will be very comfortable....
