I swapped out straight risers to 6" curved risers - gave me ~2 inches more lean-backward

 

Not to bad looking IMHO

Thanks guys--- I'm sorry to say but there is just so something to say about drag bars-- they just look COOL!!!!

I know a lot like apes, but for control issues and handling there is nothing better than drag bars or standards.

Thanks for the pics guys...

 

I'd have drag bars on my Rocker already if it wasn't a little too much reach for the ol' lady.

Going a little further, I was trying to figure out how to put rear foot controls on it a couple of weeks ago. Woudln't be easy. Forward controls are cool, but I saw a Harley at a bar the other day that was set up like a racer, and it was way cooler than the "same-old" conformist mods most people do.

 

Something to think about...
You should really take some time to figure out exactly where your hands need to be for comfort. One way to do that is have a buddy help you measure out to your hands as you place them in the most natural position for you.
You can also use PVC pipe to "fab" a set of bars to figure this out.

Little things like angles and pull back make a huge difference. Most people naturally have about a 15-20 degree down angle when naturally placing their hands and about the same front to back angle.

I have gone through a lot of "good looking" bars until I decided to build a set just for me and it has made a world of difference for comfort.

 

Made these for my Sloptail. 1" OD 304 stainless, internal throttle.

 

Bufffalo Bars, but the key is, is the 9.5 pullback risers...
Seriously, really comy.

 

Personal I like my Carlini Design Super Sweapers

 

I went from my Night Train's stock drag bars to a chubby set with 8" pull-backs and it's much more comfortable!
