Default '99 FLHTC Handlebars

Hey all,

So I've had my scooter for a couple years now and I think it's time to start fitting it to me a bit better. It's a 1999 FLHTC (Electraglide Classic), carbed & bumped up to 95, not that it matters.

I'd like to put on some taller bars, maybe 10" or 12" and I'd like to have my wrists closer to perpendicular "T" vs bending my hands/wrists outward like the stock bars do.

Is there any internal wiring like the new models?

Think I'll need to get wire/cable extensions?

Anyone have a DIY writeup or video they can share? (all I was able to find was for late-model bikes, 09+)

What bars would you recommend?

Ideally I'd like to do it myself, but with all the bars available and not really knowing what all I'll need to do the job, I figured I'd come here & pick your collective brain.

Links & suggestions welcome, or you can tell me to kick rocks if you feel like it.
