Looking for wider bars for my 83' KZ 1100

i like the bend of the stock bars but wish they where a little wider. I'm a big guy with broad shoulders lol. Just like my dirtbikes I never cut them down because I would still have to slow down a little to twist to one side because of my shoulders ! Wondering a pair of flat track bars would be ok, Something close to the stock bend , can be a little more rise and straighter less of a sweepback maybe . Any ideas guys , thanks !

I like the Superbike bars, only about 2 1/2" rise, and 28"-32" wide, depending on who made them.
I'm a fairly large guy, have to wear 3X shirts just so they'll fit across my shoulders.

Yes I had those on my SR500 and loved them. But that is a smaller bike and I was much closer to the forks .

Yeah I'm a 3xl shirt guy too . I was thinking of using some oversize dirt bike bars and using the riser blocks like I did to my KTM to make them taller and on the KZ make them come closer to me.
