Default Try looking at C50 handle bars

How do I know what cables to get for the changed bars? (This by the way is what started the idea of new bars since my hubby wanted to get me the braided cables anyways.)
Do any of you have bars that you can reccommend? (Talking about handlebars, not after job refreshment. )

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
There has been quite a bit of discussion on this in other threads. I don't know which one. But I believe the C50 bars may be an inch wider but they are pulled back farther,maybe by as much as 2-3 inches. measure your bars for height,pull back,and rise. Then go to a dealer and measure the C50 bars. I think you could get them to work without doing much to the cables,possibly just rerouting them under the triple trees,instead of over like the are. I was thinking about doing the same thing,but I seem to have gotten used to the M50 bars.
