Decision made...
Ruled out the Drag Specialties 1 ˝" diameter Big Buffalo bars primarily because of people's experiences with the small holes to thread the wiring through.
So...

I've ordered, directly from Wild 1, using a Coupon Code (SPOOKYCHUBBY25) to get 15% off, a set of Wild 1 CHUBBYŽ 10" Pullback Drag Bar (WO507) in Gloss Black.
(BTW: The Gloss Black option is only available by ordering direct).
Now just the wait

Nice - looking forward to seeing it installed!

I returned the 3" spacers and DK sent me the 2" so I decided to give them a go and the installation was right on the money!

I didn't take a pictures but the bars are obviously a little higher and further back now which for me, seem perfect.

I also didn't need to extend anything - works with all stock wiring and cables.

That's cool
Great info, thanks for posting
So, by my calculations, your setup is now the Street Slammer drag bar with 7" integrated risers (+ the bars 1 1/4") with a 2" DK riser extension making them 10 1/4" high (rise) total.

I took some pictures yesterday and you're basically right on the money with the 10" rise, which is perfect for me right now!

In hindsight, I should have gone with a taller bar to begin with, however, originally I had a similar bar to the "street slammer" on my Dyna and I wanted that.

These spacers do the trick and with the fairing on, are barely noticeable.

Love the way that setup looks, probably comfy as hell too. If I didn't have apes, this is what I'd do.

They look absolutely spot on - just the look I'm after and more importantly the height/positioning I'm looking for.
Thanks for your help, insight and pictures.

It's the HD Flat Out Bar - I found it used on eBay last fall for a lot less than HD so look around - there may be a deal out there somewhere!

Also the lights are Denali DM wired to the hidden rocker switch on the left turn signal (search it on the forum, lots of info on how to wire up and mod)
