Default batwing bars

Hey guys, can anyone recommend a set of bars that would get my hands up a little? I have a '15 Limited and would need bars that work with heated hand grips. I'm not looking for much, as I don't want my hands over the batwing and in the wind, I just find the stock bars a little to low. It would be a huge bonus if there's something out there that will fit with the stock cables, but I'm sure that's asking for to much...

Wild One 575 or 578 ........... The most it will cost you is wire extensions at around $30 and they're plug and play.

any idea if the chubby 10 works with heated grips and stock cables? I can't seem to find that info on their site.

Yeah, they work with heated grips and, even though I used the extensions, they say you can get by without them. Two things...First, you have to cut 3/8" off the left bar so everything butts up against the 1-1/4" section. Second, the WO578s do put your hands just above the fairing, so your hands will catch some wind when riding.

Thanks for the tip. I really want to keep my hands under the fairing, so I think i'd have to pass on the 578's...

I didn't cut mine, didn't notice much difference from the 2 sides ........ I'll have to check that again. All most positive there ain't 3/8ths difference. Thanks for the info!

You can keep your hands just below the top of the fairing by rolling them back a little. Have them on my 15 Ultra and rolled back and don't notice any wind on my hands other than normal.
