I have Wild-1 518s on my '09 Deluxe, which are about as wide as beach bars. I went to a lower riser (from 4" to 1-1/2") and thought I might get away with the stock cables, but Dr. V-Twin recommended +2s and they are perfect.

1-1/2" risers from Wild-1. The bars are chubbies so I wanted the risers to match the thicker look.
