Have you tried bending your stock bars?Even if you mess them up,they should be easy to replace.My handlebars was one of the first things I changed on my bike.I went with the Wild-1 575 bars and I like them.I have my stock bars hanging in my shop.
with either the sweepers or the wild ones will you need to replace your cables with longer ones?
With the Wild-1s you will need a longer clutch cable and brake line.My TBW did not have to be extended but the wires did have to be re-routed.

Wild-1s bars will make your fairing mirrors useless unless you enjoy looking at your knuckles.I went with handlebar mounted mirrors and used tweeters in my fairing mirror holes.Here's a link to my bike: http://s270.photobucket.com/albums/j...t=DSC01947.jpg
