Default 2000 883 with drag bars

ive seen alot of custom sportsters with drag bars, but havent seen many of the non custom bikes with drag bars. Do i have to buy the risers to change out my stock handlebars for a 2000 883?

I don't know the answer, but that bike belongs to forum member "RennsportCarrera".

You might send him a PM or email and get the details of what his setup is as far as the handlebar and risers.

It does look good though.

How tall are your current risers? If they are still the stock ones, I'd say they'd work with your stock risers no problem.

If that's a picture of your bike in your avitor then you need risers. My risers are 6" and have plenty of clearance for my drag bars.

I would also like to hear some feedback on dragbars as i am going to install some on my 06,883 xl just after x-mas i like were my hands rest on the grips right now with the stock handle bars i just want to change to drag bars for the look ! i Was thinking a 4 inch riser with a slight pull back and the HD drag bars would allmost put them at the same spot ! has anyone done this on a stock 883 xl ? any input would be great ...I am also trying to retain the stock cables to keep the cost down ! i figure i can get at least 2 to 3 inches on the speedo wires ect ...
