I got lucky and stumbled on the Biltwell MX bars.
Medium width, not too wide, not too narrow.
Similar height to stock bars, no cable or wire changes.
Moderate pullback without being too far back, too flat, or to extreme on the wrists.

+1 on the Z bars... Got mine from licks. They are the 14" fatty Z's... Gives a little girth to the top to better match up with the rest of the tubing on the bike.
Here's what I'm currently running:


Here's the 8"ers I had before:

Notice the thickness difference between the two.
