School me on bars, please?

looking to upgrade to some black bars to align my arms with my shoulders. Also for cosmetic reasons.

easy self install? Brands? Need different cables?

thanks

For what bike? A roadking swap is considerably more simple than a EG or RG.

First step - take a broom handle, put a string in the middle with a small weight on it, hold the broom handle in front of you at the height you'd like the bars to be at - then measure the string from the center of the broom handle to the middle of the handlebar clamp - this will give you the height you'd like

HOnestly I think the hardest part of deciding on the right bar is the grip angle.
