Default drag bar question

Hey guys
I am looking into changing my Train's stock bar to a drag bar w/ built in risers. I would like to get a couple inches of rise, but not add too much pullback. Any suggestions on what size to get?? Anyone have pics of their bike w/ bars similar to what I am looking for? Thanks

I put that style on my softail. I got em through Dennis Kirk for 87 bucks or so. Made by V-factor. They have two heights, 8 and 10 inches. I went 10 to clear the dash. They are 1 1/4 diameter and have holes for internal wiring. If ya do it internal, pull the stock connectors apart under the tank, then mark location of each wire/pin in connector bodyon some paper so ya can put it all back together right. there is enough stock wire to run through those bars without having to splice anything and it looks really good.
over and out Krusty...
