Looks like the burleigh roller bars. Another option to give you a more upright sit is the carlini bag drag bars. That's what I use.

Check out Wind Vest.

Another option is this fairing sold by Reckless Motorcycles.

If you don't fancy going down the windshield route a small bikini fairing may suffice if it is just wind buffeting you wish to eradicate. A mate of mine who has the black Breakout behind mine and I do quite a lot of miles together. He has mentioned whilst at higher speeds the buffeting he experiences can be quite bad. I have the CVO small bullet fairing and even at the highest speeds do not experience any buffeting or significant wind noise at all. The second picture is a better view of the fairing with another mate's 48 alongside.

Those were burleigh roller bars, I have now replaced them with the RoadGlide stock bars, not as good looking but sooo comfortable .

Sorry, sold.

Don't forget you will also need to replace the cables.

X2 on the Memphis Shades Bullet, looks great, no buffeting and keeps the wind of the sail I call a chest.

Thanks. Which one of carlini, if not a secret? Any troubles/issues with mounting/cables?

Got it! Do you have any pics from the front? A bit too "ape" for me, just wandering.

The carlini bars are called "bag drag"bars. They ate kind of a modified beach bar that comes back at an angle that' handles more like a drag bar. Contours well with the bike, though you need a shim to step from 1 in to 1.25.

Here's my bike with the quarter fairing and bars
