Hey AC, are you trying to use the stock bars with just a little more rise? If you 8" up and
like 2" pull you should be good to go... But the stock bars on a train are 28" you will find it's
more comfy going a little wider, shoulders will feel better. Got these on ebay 9" up 3" back
1 1/4 thick drilled for wires for about $100.00 hope this helps you?

Thanks all!

Really all I want to do is change the stock 6" ers to 8" (something like accutronix makes) with no pullback.I love the way the bike rides and feels, I just want to get my hands up a little higher. Plus, I broke my back in a car accident a few years back and reaching forward to the bars helps me keep my lower back straight (er). I know, sounds odd, but Irode a Train w/street slammers and my back was cussin' me after about an hour. I can ride mine all day with just a stretch during gas stops. I guess I could always just trade my Train for a...... yeah, uh never mind.
