Can you recommend a good bar?

Sorry, not THAT kind of bar. Looking for some lower & a little wider bars for my '99 T-bird. Something that wouldn't require new cables, lines, etc.

Mine are lower, wider, and all the stock cables etc work fine. I Think they are pattern T120 bars, but I'm not entirely sure on that.

Note, I used TBS risers with them, but I love these bars, felt great from the get go. Renthal have a great range of bars, the dogs nuts imo.

Protaper dirtbike bars (with the crossbar removed) are lower, a hair narrower left-to-right, and less... raked back, I suppose?

And stock cables worked fine. Had to drill for the switch pods, of course.

How about a pair of clip ons?

I use the LSL clip ons http://www.spieglerusa.com/cfm/clipon.cfm

I didn't have to redo the lines or cabling, and they look really nice.
