    Welcome to the family. Do hit the upload a file button and show the inmates your steed. Really you can do almost anything to adjust your bars. Do tell us what you want to achieve. And how much you have to spend.
    Ride Safe & Enjoy
    Joe.

    So I don't mind spending a bit of money if it really adds to the comfort...

    I love that grin you have there. Isn't it great try explaining that to a non biker. You can go for conventual bars like the t100's Or get apes to your requirement. Not sure how the bobber bars are fitted but I am sure there will be risers there somewhere for it. you may have to redo cables most electrics have ample adjustment. I am sure some of the boys here have done similar jobs and they may not be as severely damaged as I am so they will jump in any minute and problem solved. Me I of to see nursey and see if she can give me something for the excitement. But welcome to the asylum.
    Regards
    Joe.

    Warm is all about this forum and the peeps who come here. Something about you bike looks good from the front. Does it have the conventual handlebar holes drilled in the top yoke. If it has you're rocking if not you will have to locate a whole new top yoke.
    Regards
    Joe.

    Yep! Conventional holes are there so it would be easy for a standard set or a slightly extended set... Wire replacements if I go for the apes

    Well you are rocking there mate. Check how much free play you have in you're switch wires and that will give you the idea how tall you can go with bars. And check it all out before jumping in as sometimes a little is enough.
    Regards
    Joe.

    Someone mentioned "arm fatigue" - is that a real thing on apes?
