I installed HD PN 56473-98.&nbsp\\; They have a 3.5 inch rise and a 6.25 inch pullback.&nbsp\\; You'll have to replace both the clutch and brake cables.&nbsp\\; It was easy and relatively cheap.&nbsp\\; Here's a pic:

You'll have to replace the throttle and clutch cables indefinetly unless you get another drag bar. You won't have to replace the speedo, and if you go too big (ape hangers) your going to have to splice into your wiring. If you go a little big there's usually some extra wire&nbsp\\;under your headlight bracket.

Would you sell your drag bars if you swap them? If so I want them if the price is right. My brother in-law has an 03 xl1200c and I love those bars. Pm me if you want to sell them. Thanks

&nbsp\\;I have used both stock 883 handle bars and a set of bad boy bars on my wifes 03 1200c and both fit with the stock cables the bad boy bars just barely fit but they work fine.
