Look at the gallery on the Wild Ones Handlebars site , a lot of great pictures.

I went with Wild Ones 508 and love them (see gallery) if you want a more relaxed position look at the Wild Ones 508

I have the Narrow Beach Bars..... love em! Stock cables and wires..... if you do decide to go with them, I'll give you all the help and pics I can. See this link. TONNES of great pics. Cable routing will only work one way without binding. I played with every configuration imaginable, and even the exact placement of the banjo fitting for the front brakes. It has to be perfect. See my attached pics of what to do with the extra bit of wire.

JR Ryder,

Man I was thinking about Narrow beach bars on my bike. We think too much alike.

DUDE, I hate the colour of your bike.... KIDDING!!!! haha, sweet. Ya, the NBB's are great. Are you okay with the wiring stuff? I'll see if I can grab you a link. Be right back.

Here, have a peek at this. Lots of pics too:

Thanks for the info. I am debating whether to do it myself or have someone put them on for me as I do not have much experience working on bikes. I'll save money doing it myself but I don't want to get halfway through the project and not be able to finish it.
