If you are looking for more of a low, clipon feel then you probably want to go with a different option. But, Cooter's advice about cables is spot on. Make sure to do some research about what cables work best with whatever handlebars you choose. In the case of the Crossroads, they worked better on the XB12Ss using Firebolt cables instead of Lightning ones as I recall. And, routing the cables with the Crossroads was a pain to get a clean look and not have any throttle binding at full lock.
