10" handle bars vs the 8" stock bars on a ultra limited
#4
That is a question that only you can answer.
I put 10 inch Yaffe Monkey bars on my bike a year ago. They are a huge improvement over stock, but I want more. I was trying to keep them at or behind the fairing which drove my decision. I just ordered new 12 inch yesterday!
Try to sit on some bikes and see what feels best for you.

In my opinion, 10 inch bars would be a waste of money and effort. It’s not much of an increase over stock. I started with 12” bars and ended up swapping them for the 14” bars I should have installed in the first place. I’m not the only person on here that went with the lower of 2 sizes and ended up wishing they had gone higher. Think of it this way. If you stand looking through a tall chain link fence and you grab the fence with both hands for comfort, where are your hands. I would say most people would grab it at or above shoulder height.
Anyway, just something to think about. Everyone has differing opinions on what’s comfortable.

+1 on Improved Handling and Control...
Control GREATLY improved with both taller and wider bars. My last bike I had Wild One WO578 and they are SUPER comfortable. Right at the top of the fairing and wider than stock. Handling was GREAT.
The Yaffe's are not as wide but still offer improved handling over stock. Can't wait to get the 12 inch on the bike.
