Baron's Big Johnson bars. One of the few aftermarket accessories I've been happy with.

They fit with stock everything, just ran the cables inside the tree, but that was optional. Only downside is I had them set so low before I got my fairing that I had to have my feet on the highway pegs to make a sharp low speed turn, otherwise my knees got in the way.

My buddy who rode with 18" apes took mine for a spin and was surprised how comfy it was, said it's amazing how your hands just fall right down to the bars and rest there. But I don't really expect any converts here in this ape-happy place.
