Hey all! This is my first post on the forum. I've had my Iron for about a year now and I'm considering new handlebars. What kind of options do I have without having to replace the stock cables? If you've changed yours, show some pics!

Thanks in advance.

 

I should have my Flanders drag bars on by Friday (if HD ever sends the f---in oem bucket for the 48).

 

Check my profile. Flanders 27.5" drag bars.

 

Hey, Animal. Those look great. Any trouble with wrist fatigue on long rides with them? How tall are you, too, since that changes things?

 

I am currently using 28" drag bars with 5.5" pullback risers and am still using all the factory cables/wires.

Last week I slapped on a Mustang Vintage Solo seat and it moved me back a bit. I just ordered 6.5" pullback risers but also a 8" Novella wire extension kit just to be safe. **Edit**Just installed the 6.5" pullback risers. All I had to to was move the switch wires above the front tank bolt and had more than enough length. This will be as high as I can go without replacing the brake line.

With 5.5" pullbacks~

Welcome to the forum. Wild1 501 Chubbies. Stock cables but did need a longer brake line.

 

Thanks. I haven't gone on any long rides with them yet, but I don't think my wrists would be the problem. I'm 5'9, and sometimes I get a small cramp in the right side of my back because it's not easy to give the throttle side a rest unless I'm stopped. I used to ride sportbikes, so the stance doesn't really bother me.

 

Cool, thanks. I used to race a GSXR-1000, so the stance doesn't bother me, either, but I'm 25 years older now, and 50 lbs heavier (6'0" and 200#), so I was concerned. I guess I won't worry about it.

 

I have Z-Bars on mine.

 

HD drag bars, $75. I changed out the cables just because I had too much length sticking out all over the place, but could have just left them as is. I also have the Custom Chrome 3.5" black straight risers.
