What are you looking for, comfort or style?

Renthals fit right on but you will have to drill holes for the switch gear to locate into .

Do you mean Renthal straight ones as the cables don't look long enough for anything else.

Why not get the standard bars powder-coated in the colour of your choice, then?

Because the standard ones are very thin walled. a little slide bent mine. I think renthal ultra low are very similar, works fine with standard cable. They've survived an off, and an arguement with the side of a car...
