Thank you for posting your results with the Apex bars, Steve! I just happened to be wrestling with what direction to take for a similar bar change on my '02. I was considering the same suspects as you...Woodcraft, Convertibars, and Apex.
After seeing your results, I'm going with the Apex Riser bars as well. I have already ordered them, along with a Ballabio brake hose for some extra length. I do know that I am not going to be able to route the clutch hose as you did. In my case it will need be routed behind the tree. Probably a difference between '02 and '05. Then again, it is highly likely that no two of our era Guzzis were built exactly the same.
