Handle it!
Good morning guys, got a simple question, what bars should I get? I'm not very fond of the stock bars at all, I'd like them to be up a lil higher and further forward. Any suggestions will be appreciated, thank you

Hey, I won't give ya the "do a search" treatment, so.. Start here

Lots of different ways to get there, I'm going to try both the 929 clip-ons and the superbike bars when I finish my USD fork mod.
The other favorite clip-on swap is VFR800 bars, there may be others, but, dig through that search link above and you'll get the gist of it. Enjoy!

Try Convertibars. That was the first mod I did on my SH and I'm glad I did. They are adjustable up/down also forward/back and in/out. It does take a bit of patience to get 'em set up so they don't interfere with the fairing if you dont want to do any cutting to the plastic, but it can be done. They also have a newer design that allows changes to the grip angle in addition to all the variables mentioned for the older design ones.

something to think about: do you or are you going to lean enough to drag your pegs? If you are/do, you'll want to buy rearsets, or rotate your pegs like me and some others have done. Moving the pegs will affect your ergonomics such that you may not need to buy clip-ons. I was ready to purchase new clip-ons, but after moving my pegs back and up and raising the clip-ons to the fork-tops and pulling them back, they are comfortable for me.
Whatever you do, make sure your egros are such that you can support your body with your core and legs, with no weight on your clip-ons. This will allow you keep soft hands on the bars reducing the likelihood of tank-slap/speed wobble, carpal tunnel, and unintended steering inputs.
