Kurt I put on these"ARROW" tapered bars. I think they were kinda a knock-off of the bigger name brands. These ones were $130 includung the adaptors.
The adaptors fit in the original bar mount valleys and end up raiaing the bar 1 inch at that point. With the higher bend in the bars I think they end up being almost 3 inches higher.....and the bar end angles are way better. The stock bars are pointed down a little where as these new ones are level.
Any tapered bar will be better than the stock 'Butter-bars'
The wireing would not allow any higher of bars, it gets prety tight otherwise.
My bike is a 99, but everything should be the same as yours:hb:
You will have to bend the locator tab on the throttle side controls, it has never turned on me.
Here is another cheep mod u can do if you don't have the funds for a new pipe.
Remove this 3.5pound insert.:tup:
