Default Handle Bar options for 2013 iron

It looks like there are not a whole lot of choices w/o a lot of work being done,like new cables and soldering on longer wires,which I cannot do,I do like drag bars,don't think I need anything new for those,are drag bars comfortable enough for the long haul,say 500 miles a day,?wonder about how much it would cost to put on some mini apes to?lol I am all over the place as far as what I want to do,btw how do you post a pic on this site,thanks

I have 8" narrow Z bars that i bought off a guy on Craigslist. They had holes drilled in them so i could run wires internally. I didn't have to add any length to the wires or change any cables but i did have to relocate the brake cable which was easy (just remove it from the stock location, move it up and ziptie it). I did have to cut all the control wires so i could feed them through the bars, which is scarier than it sounds. Soldering is easier than you think. I had never solderd in my life so i just watched a few videos on YouTube and now I have no problem cutting and soldering wires. Good luck.

buy a burlly kit and what ever bars you want and call it a day. No need to solder with a burlly kit.
