New to me Blackhawk 240

Did quite a bit of shopping a finally picked up a new (to me) '05 Blackhawk 240. Couldn't leave it alone and changed out the drag bars that were killing my back to mini apes. Also changed the stock air cleaner to a Heavy Breather. Other than looking for a swingarm bag I am about done for now. I love my '14 Limited for distance-touring but this thing is a BLAST to ride!

I'm kinda diggin the look of those bars. What brand/model are they? Did you Have to replace cables and get different risers too?

Sorry, but all I can tell you is they were takeoffs my technician had in his shop. They are 12" tall, 36" wide, 1 1/4" so similar to the Wild Ones WO502 I was going to buy. New risers since the old bars were drags. And yep, they changed all cables and rewired. Might have gotten away with keeping some original cables but they would have been too stretched for me.
