Here are the pics I promised and some more info.
Part number for the bars I ordered: 56085-83T
These also come in all black, I opted for chrome.
First picture shows how much wiring slack I could get with the stock bars still on.
Second picture shows the comparison of the stock bars with the new ones. New bars are 3 inches wider tip-to-tip and an inch more rise.
Third picture shows the new bars installed. The mirror view is slightly improved due to the bars being wider and an inch more rise but not as much improvement as I wanted.
Fourth picture is an angle shot so you can see how I opted to "roll" the bars up when I installed them so they have the maximum height. Stock bars were mounted with a bit of a down angle, Im not sure why.
I hope this helps!

I picked up a set of buckhorn bars off e-bay for $25. Much better than the drag bars.

I'm going to be replacing my stock bars with dyna low bars sometime in the next few weeks. *I am going to run the wiring internally while i'm at it.
* When I say I am going to be internally wiring my handlebars what I really mean is that auto128 is going to be doing it. Dooood, you rock!
