Default New Bar Option for Rushmore Ultra Limited

Does anyone have a picture(s) of Khrome Werks +2 Stretch bars installed on a Rushmore (2014 or later) Ultra Limited. I'm looking for chrome bars that are just a few inches closer to the rider with a 1 1/4" diameter that will keep my hands below/behind the fairing. Feedback relative to the stock bars would be much appreciated. Anyone?

Just installed 2+2 Narrow Sweepers. I am 5-10 x 30" inseam. As new I knew the bars were short. After 3000 miles I had enough. I would ride down the FWY with my knuckles wresting on the top of the grips wishing the bars were just a tad taller with a tad more pullback. I was looking for something 1+1 but figured I would try the 2+2. I am happy with my purchase. I sit up straight with my arms slightly bent. I can bring the bars lock to lock without interference. They feel more like beach bars but look traditional. I am very pleased with my purchase and did not need to add any wires extensions. I ran the wires in their factory locations.

Below are the before and after photos

Thanks for the feedback and pictures. Just a few questions:

1. Are the top of your hands still below the fairing and out of the wind?
2. Did you run your electrical wires inside or outside the new bars?
3. Your new bars are Khrome Werks 2+2 sweepers correct? Not Khrome Werks +2 Stretch.
4. Your new Khrome Werks 2+2 sweeper bars are 1" in diameter not 1 1/4." Correct?

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback and welcome to the forum.

1. Yes, Although it has not been cold enough to know for sure. Visibly hidden behind fairing. Unsure how the wind rolls over the fairing.
2. Controls outside, throttle and heated grips inside. (as factory)
3. Correct. 1" 2+2 NARROW SWEEPER HANDLEBAR WITH ETC Part#300519
4. Yes 1" in diameter?

Sorry it is not exactly what you asked for. Maybe the photos will help another.

Thanks mstrty. Any specific reason you decided not to run the control wires thru the bars? Personal preference?

Did not see a reason to. I have had the bike for 3 months and had not even realised the control cables there were on the outside of the bars. It does not add or subtract to the look, fit, or finish in my opinion. On tall apes.....maybe there is a value. On a stock bike with stock looking bars my eye did not need to hide the wires.
I seriously never noticed there were wires zip tied to the bars until I had to cut the wire ties.

There is certainly room within the bars to add the control wires should you wish.

I have a 16 ultra limited, I started with 10" twin peak bars. I hated them they were too wide. I am now also running the 2+2 narrow sweepers 1". I am also 5:10. For me this is a much better choice than stock as I no longer lean forward and my back no longer hurts on a long day. I now want to move the seat back an inch to straighten my knees a little.
I ran my cables inside and my hands are inside the faring.

I believe that there are a lot of us running the 2+2s
