so i've decided i'm gonna drill the top triple to fit fighter bars, just few questions can anyone give me an idea of what the different widths and bar heights affect comfort and control.

undecided between the flat style and riser styles.

Flat bars all the way.

Still nice and upright but put a little more weight on the front end making the handling better.

nah not yet checking out mounting points and all first didnt know if there maybe be a different style people will suggest cause it looks like room is abit limited. i pretty know i wanna fit fighter bars and i'm leaning towards flat bars. not looking to have a massive rise unless its needed.

It may be worth getting the risers first. Then you can measure up the mounting holes and drill your top clamp accordingly...
