Default T-Bars on deuce

So thinking of getting rid of the stock deuce bars, and putting a set of T-Bar drag bars on it.

So some suggestions, what is all needed in the swap?

I want to come up an inch or two and possibly back about the same. Im 6'0. also thinking of adding either hiway pegs, or doing +2 or +3 forward control extentions. my knees feel cramped with the stock peg location.

So as bars as bars, what brand are you guys using?
Extended wires? Cables? ETC?

If i do thru the bar mounting, is there an easy way? or is it cut and splice back together? Just some basic info/pics of this.

Mine are 8" up and 4" back. Don't know what brand as they came on the bike. 1 1/4 dia. Through the bar wiring, which can be done with your cables, just a bit of work. I just put on stock length throttle and idle cables with no problems. Love the look.

Wild One Chubby Bars with a 12 in rise look good on the Deuce IMO.

The Deuce was made for pullback T-bars, IMO.

Mine are 1 1/4" as I stated above. Running stock length cables and hose. 8" rise with 4" pull back. Not sure the brand as they came with the bike.

Default 10 inch bars

Did the wiring myself, dabbed a bit of money. Like the look and feel.
