I love the 13" bars I have on there now, but I want to have internal wiring. Can’t find any markings on the bars to determine brand so I am asking for recommendations on some fatter bars that are around the same height.

got a dremmel? just drill out the current apes and run the wiring internally. I say dremmel cause I found it easier to cut oval holes and polish smooth than drill out round ones.

What size are the bars now, diameter-wise?

If you won't drill the current bars, I recommend Burly narrow apes. They look awesome.
