HAS ANYONE INSTALLED DRAG BARS WITHOUT PUTTING HIGHER RISERS ON?
I DON'T SEE WHY YOU WOULD NEED TO PUT HIGHER RISERS ON?? 1200R
HOW CAN IT POSSIBLE HIT THE TANK?

If you don't rise Standard Drag(bent) bars the Switch Housing will hit the Tank!!! :yikes

If you use Broom Handle type(straight) Bars they will miss the Tank!! :D

Try here. http://www.dragspecialties.com/fatbook/ Just click the handlebars link in the left column. Page 3 of the list should show one.

I got mine from Dennis Kirk 29".There's some pics in the gallery.

THEY LOOK PRETTY GOOD WHAT THEY RUN YOU?

First stop yelling , and then I'll tell you

Here are some bars from Wild1inc they are the same
bars i run on my scoot except mine are the 8 inch rise.
http://www.wild1inc.com/wo500.html
These bars are super high quality, 1-1/4 thick
and dimpled on the ends to hide the wiring.

FYI- dont ever buy bars from a stealer, they are
WAY OVER PRICED you can buy bars from the
aftermarket for over 1/3 less and 3 times the quality. :yikes

Yea I think the stealers are way over priced. $49 for a for chrome pipe no bends theanks for the links' :smoke

Over priced INSANELY!! I got my 9.5"-chrome-1.25" dia White Bros in '99 for $107 at an Indie grand oprning. I saw what looked like the same pullbacks in the '04 catalogue for $459.95 ! My bars are 3 yrs old and still look immaculate.

you're kidding!!! That much? Jeeze...
On second thought, I'll have to acknowledge. I bought 6" Deuce style straight risers for $18. I saw the same crap in H-D catalog for like $128 or something. Only they give you the mounting bolts...big deal...

Maddog is talking about the T-bars with the built in riser,
yes they are $ 459.00. The risers you are talking about
for $18.00 dollars are the risers that sit on top of the
tripple trees that hold handle bars in place.

The WILD1 Chubbys are $149.95 for the 8" chrome 1.25 dia
bars, and they pullback 11.5 inches and are 30.5" wide.

Hell I paid $40.00 for the Bars and I think about $50.00 for the Risers!!! :D

Got the Bars and Risers from the Stealer!!!! :frownthre The Bars are HD and the risers were ordered thru Custom Chrome I Think!!! There 5 3/4" risers..
Top Clamp got off eBay for $5.00!!! :D

Txsporty, why did'nt you use the stock clamp ?

toadster

Stock Clamp is the 100 Anniv. and is powder coated black as are the 2" risers that came stock on my Scoot, wanted Chrome!!! :D

Nice bike TXSPORTY- what seat you using?

Dogmann

Thanks, it's a Corbin!!! Love it!! :D

TX Sporty - I bet you get a nice view of your shoulders and elbows thru those rearview mirrors.

I've a similar setup and have to do what this icon does to see behind me. :tour

P-Diddly

Your right about the Mirrors, might as well not had any!! :yikes

I've since changed them to a set I Bought off eBay and now I can see what's behind me!!! :D I'll get some pic's posted Soon!!!!!!

Springer - awesome looking sporty but I have one question... where is your speedo?! :yikes

Also along these lines, is there any way to flip a speedo around from an 04 883 standard and put it in a bracket that points it down towards the tank like on the customs?

I was thinking of doing the same thing... :D

Thay do look good them drag Bars.

Grayfeather :clap

No risers?

I was wondering about that too... those bars look cool, but I'm thinking that with my short arms I would be leaning way too far forward to grab 'em. I would want at least 4" risers on mine, but then the speedo would be up too high to see the road good from what I can tell.

No worries BlackSkull. You can mount your speedo on the headlight brow. The holes line up perfectly, all you need is some hollow standoffs and long bolts. Done.

Xena, that sounds pretty interesting. Do you have yours set up like that? If so, I'd appreciate a pic showing close up how it looks.

Thanks!

Yes I do. I actually posted pics in another thread for some other guys who wanted to see. To do the mod I used aluminum tubing and 2 1/2" or 3" stainless steel allen bolts that fit nice inside the tubing. Heres a pic.
Lets see if this link works, if not I'll come back and edit again.

Very cool. Is that as low as you can go with the speedo or will it fit closer to the eyebrow? :smoke

The tubing could probably be cut down another 1/2" or so and this would drop the gauges down a little closer to the brow. This pic will give you a better view. I didn't want to drop them too far because I'm short and didn't want trouble trying to peek over the risers to see the entire faces of my gauges. http://www.xlforum.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=735

At some point I hope to find some chrome tubes that the allen bolts will comfortably fit into. Hope this helps you.

Here's a pic of what I've Done.

They are sitting on the stock risers... They are pretty comfortable for me, but I am also thinking of getting mini apes or going back to the stock bars to change the look...

Ed

Hell I paid $40.00 for the Bars and I think about $50.00 for the Risers!!! :D

What is the width on those bars? Also, did you have to extend any cables for this mod or were the stock ones long enough?

Thanks!

What are those bars, or specs? Thats exactly what I have been looking to do.

Here is different look at the bars on my Sporty....

http://www.sportster.org/thebikes/images/e00i3-1957-1.jpg

Is that a Kuryakyn gas cap?

No it is a 100th Anniversary Fuel Cap...... I picked it up on ebay...

Ed

jtwax

The Bars are 27" and I was able to use the Stock cables!! :D

HotRodSporty

Yes, It's Kuryakyn!!! :D

Just curious about where you mount all the electrical connectors and wiring that lives behind the riser cover when you go with different, shorter risers?

Just installed these bars ..... :smoke
