What style are you looking for ?? We need more to go on...
1", 1.25", or 1.5" ?? Rounded corners or welded ??
New poly bushings will eliminate most vibrating and flexing....

I really like my LA Choppers Twin Peaks....

New bushings are a good idea, Wild1 chubbys are a decent bar.

If you put stiff bushings in first you can go with just about anything you want. The WOs are nice but their one of the most expensive bars out there. Ive got a buddy who rode my bike around when trying to decide on bars and he had test rode WOs and to his surprise he couldn't tell the diff. Its the stiff bushings that make the diff is my conclusion.....

I have Wild One's and I'm very happy with them. I am a repeat customer as I had them on my Wide Glide previous to this bike.

If I had an RK I'd definitely have Carlini's.
