HD drag bars vs Licks 10" Z-Bar
Ok so I ordered some HD drags bar but after talking with some guys today I think the 10" Z's would be more comfortable with my forward controls and height (6'2)...I ride about 25 miles round trip for work and we ride every weekend on cruises...the stock bars make me fatigued so I figured the drag bars would be worse...I love how drag bars look but the Z's are sick as shit too...
How long would the new front brake need to be so I can order it from HD? Do I need to bleed any line? Sorry for all the questions, this is my first time doing this.
input would be appreciated.

be careful of the licks bars. I bought my Girlfriends Nightster off a friend, he had the licks 10"z-bars on it. 300 miles from home they decided to break at one of the welds on the lower miter joint, he put the stock bars back on it, i got the z bars from him and rewelded ALL the joints as well as welded in gussets at each of the joints.
may just have been a fluke, but bars are not something you want breaking.

Why buy parts, when you can pick up some tools and make something way cooler?

I do like the ride comfort, and looks of the bars.
all your stock lines and cables should be fine with the z bars.
