Default Would these bars be a good fitment for me?

I been looking to buy bars online for my street glide. I found the bars I would like to purchase. The question I have is will these be a good fit for me. My height is 5"7 and I don't know if these size bars will stretch my arms to bad or make the ride to uncomfortable. I used to have 10" t-bars on my dyna and they fit perfect. These are the specs of the bars I would like to purchase. 12” tall (installed) 36” wide with a 9” pullback with an 1.25” diameter. Do these seem like they would be to tall for my height? I'm thinking they would be fine but need a few more opinions on this. Thanks

A-everyone is different when it comes to bars and seats, etc.
B-how about the name of the bars instead of the measurements

like dawg said, everyone is different. I am 5'10" and had 20" on my RK and loved the snot out of them. They were legal with good posture. I have 13" monkey bars on my glide and would like them a little taller. I like them tall for my lower back and posture. I think at 5'7" you would be happy. But, you know what they say about opinions.

The bars I'm looking at are called Monkey Bagger bars from Paul Yaffe.
