Street bars are straight/drag or beach bar style? We have beach bar types on ours. Wild One 508 and WO 518 on the other.

If you watch ebay you can get a decent set of used 1.25" apes for around $100. Cables another $100 if you buy the black vinyl ones then all you have to do is extend your wires.

And they were $66 from Zanoti's

I think you can adjust them for reach back or more arms up - like mini apes - which is what most guys do s it seems to ease back , shoulder and neck pain/issues.
I started out with mine rocked back a little but have edged them forward (taller) twice now and like that better.....
