trying to decide for bars on my fx springer. 6" risers with drag bars, wild 1 chubby single piece pull back drag bars, or medium heighth apes. Any one have any experiences, comments or suggestions on any of these.
Thanks
Dave

 

Have medium apes on my Springer&nbsp\\; FXSTS.&nbsp\\; Like the way they look and handle , no complaints .

 

I went from 12" to 18" to&nbsp\\;20"s on my springer. I did change out the top trees to Arlen Ness. It allowed me to run standard risers. I kept stripping the screws on the stock risers.

 

I am not a fan of Apes...to each their own I guess
I installed a set of Wild Chubby one piece Drag Bars and did the internal wiring thing

Think they changed the look of the whole bike...I like the feel too...best investment in mods I made

 

Looks good Nitram ...

 

thanks

 

Hey Dave,
I had the buckhorn bars on my 2002 and hated them!! I went with stock 6"
risers and the 510 Dresser&nbsp\\;bars from WildOnes and am extremely happy.
I even had one of the guys pick out a blem bar for me for about half price and
can't even see the blem! I need to send in a pic of mine as it is the only FXSTS with those bars, all the rest are on FL's.
I considered the one piece drags but don't like lack of adjustability.
If I went drag style I would have gotten their pull back risers and the drags
attached to those. Here is a link to a nice setup 2003&nbsp\\;one customer did. Not cheap by any means but the nicest springer drag setup I've ever seen!

This guy must have every chrome softail piece made LOL!!!

This is a shot of the 565 fixed Drag bars, look good too!

This pic of a nice deuce has 504's on it which are same dimensions as my 510's
and give you an idea of the look I went for.

And here is a pic of my baby!!

Hope this helps!!

 

Oh and Nitram I like your bike with the drags too, nice bike!!
I am not a fan of apes but who knows how I'll feel next year!!

 

Chubby drags on stock risers is the look and feel for me:

 

I had the stock risers and powder coated a pull back set of flat track sportster bars on my old Bad Boy. Looked like 97 FXSTB's but with a little pull back.
