10" Khrome Werks Mini Apes. I didn't have to change any cables install them. I just bent the brake line straight. I love em.

depending on how tall you are is how tall of a bar your gonna want. I am 5ft 5" and have 10" Licks cycles Z bars with 1" risers and love them. 29" spread. My arms are at about shoulder height when riding.
