Don't need the vette, but I've had great luck with standard WideGlide bars on my two RG's....

All stock cables & wiring works just fine.

I'd put some miles on the stock bars before you swap them out. I like mine just fine.

'08? Better wait to see what will be available for the new "fly by wire" setup...

I'll second the WG bars, that is if they work with the new fly by wire stuff

RE: bars for a RG

I almost went with a set of RKC bars, internal wiring and the fit was better than stock, but once I saw the mini ape 10 inch Chubbies, I was sold on those. I also went to a mustang seat which puts me a bit further back than stock, so the extra reach was needed.
