Finished up the bars today. Ended up going with the 14" IMZZ Elite Dive bars. Saved a few hundred and I'm really happy with them. nice and sturdy. They were a little narrower than I expected, but I like them. It'll make for splitting lanes a little easier. My arms are parallel to the ground, which I think will be really comfortable. Initially I was thinking about getting the riser/bar setup with the raptor plate which would've made the bars about 15". I'm glad I went with the 14 though. I may mess around with the gauges a little to see if I can find a better spot for them. I put them on the back of the bars, because initially on the front I thought they may interfere with the gas tank lid and filling it up, but I can't see the whole gauge (not that it's entirely necessary), but I also can only see half of the infotainment screen. I need to do some nacelle "fab work" in order to clean up the forks and wire work. for now, I stuffed all the wires in the fairing mount, but it's still not to satisfaction. I did find a blank nacelle that I may get to see if it'll work or modify the original nacelle which would clean up the area around the ignition switch.
Hey @Dynaglide92 I'm finally getting around to installing my bars and gauge relocation. What wrap did you use to cover all your wires?
I used something like this. I believe it was the half inch, it expands pretty well to get over the connectors, some of the larger ones did take a little finessing.
