Currently have 10-inch Wild-1 Cubby's, will replace with a set of 14-inch Wild-1 Cubby's, love the look and the hand position makes for a comfortable experience. Hill Country Custom cables, they look great and the customer support is great.

First thing is to find out what size bars you're comfortable with. Width and height is where you start. Use the broom handle technique, B&R has a walk through on his web page to do this.
Next, you want 1", 1 1/4", or 1 1/2" diameter bars? Going to need risers if vary from the stock diameter bars. Tall apes should have a one piece riser is the rule of thumb.
Now, it's time to research the various bar manufacturers
Cables are next. Mount the bars, measure for the correct length cables. Magnum Shielding custom cable are who most like.
Wiring harness extensions, plug and play or solder is the next question. Most go for the convenience of plug and play from Namz.
Good luck with whatever you choose to do.
