I have Flanders wide clubman bars. They aren't quite what I would consider scrambler bars (by the way, do you mean the new Triumph Scrambler? Have you thought of the bar from that?), but they're wider and a bit lower than the stock Bonnie bar, and didn't require any wire lengthening. I know there are other possibilities as well. Have you looked on newbonneville.com or bellacorse.com?

find a website that sells aftermarket bars for Harley Davidsons, anything 1'' will fit.

Dennis Kirk, Custom Chrome, JP cycles, there are tons of 'em out there.

I use the SuperBars, and like them. They lean you into the wind and the position works up to about 75-80 mph. It is a good compromise between "Ace" (Clubman) bars and the stockers.

Bhakti-rider, where did you get your Flanders wide clubman bars? I think they would go great and put me in a little better position riding. Only thing is the $120 price tag.
