I'm looking for some handle bars for my '05 xb12r...whats a good brand/style to get?? right now my bike has(what I believe to be the original bars) that the former owner machined risers for, but they hit the fairing when turning. any and all suggestions would be great thanks! pictures would be even better...

I have a picture of it on my myspace(link on my profile, its private though so you'd have to send a friend request) but I dont have the bike right now cuz its not running so I had to leave it at my moms house(near the shop i pulled it out of) until my voltage regulator comes in(hopefully wednesday!!) but I'll post a picture of them on here then for sure...I like the position the risers put me in(cuz i'm used to harleys), but I just cant let it keep hitting the fairing like that cuz it drives me up the wall.

Here is a discussion talking about the same thing. It gives two options.

For customized fit, nothing beats ConvertiBars. Do a search here and you'll see my picture of the ConvertiBars on XB12Ss. You'll need 43mm forks, which you have since it's 05XB.
