I found these on Kirk, kinda similar, whatcha think? Let the Black Plague begin . . . . .
Get those Burlys!! They are badassness and were almost on my bike too! I would guess Krome Werks would do a set of 14"s but why bother when Burly already has a set done and waiting for ya?

Good thinkin. I found these 3 options below. Are what they call 1" bars, true 1" OD? Im plannin out these risers and clamps. I had a chrome sissy bar from Haulen ***. It sits under the seat on top of a slice of rubber and pops up right behind the seat with a small pad kinda like a deuce sissy bar, but for other chit. Hated the look of those external mount plates and gaudy sissy bars, this one is very low pro. I needed to return it and requested a black one in return. Those guys are top notch up there. Sent me out a black powder coated one, no questions asked, hell of a company if your ever in the market. Also is the first black part to adorn my ride.

These are the riser options Im looking at.

Ive done lots of business through them and never had a problem. Every company has its problems now and then. Look at there feedback on Ebay its 175,000 . If you serve hundreds of thousands of people, Your going to upset a few.

Yo twist...Get the Burlys. Those Kodlins bars unless you are wanting to go down that RSD styled road will absolutely dictate your futur mods or they will never flow...Stick with a basic ape and you will not be a slave to the Sands design school of thought unless thats where you want to be?

Also doing black pieces now is going to head you in a whole new direction as well...IMO a much better direction than the getting overdone "Me Too" RSD look but any black pieces now will dictate future pieces and be certain cause for a few trips down to the powder coaters shop (A good thing IMO)...

Blus and black on your Bike = Badassness!!

Roland Sands look on your bike? I dunno about the blue and the RSD theme...

I put a shorty 1.5" chrome OEM heritage riser on my bike so I wouldnt hafta pull my tri-trees off and get them PC'ed. Maybe sometime down the road but a lil' Bling with the black is still a good thing too!! Note the black tape on my bars where strapping it to the dyno fvcked up my chit!!! Arrrrggghhh

It works with your bike though....See your color scheme? Its ready to get all RSD'ed up. You were headed that dierection before you ever hit the buy it now button Bro!! Your color scheme is badass and has that RSD-ish look to it.

You cant really do those bars without doing the AC as well. Its inevitable.

Once there a guy is slowly pulled towards those black and silver contrast cut mags and before ya' know it?

The color of your bike greatly lends itself to a good "Sand Storm"...

Twisteds blue uber cruiser? Meh' not so much.

That just an opinion tho'. Like an ******* we all have one!!

A guy should mod as he see's fit!!
