Default Question about installing drag bars
Hello everyone. I am installing 1.25in 10inch tall drag bars on my 2014 dyna street bob. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on the best bolts and bushings to use to install them. I've only installed handlebars with risers so this will be a new experience and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Buy a set of Gooden Tight riser bushings for around $50. They stiffen things up a bit and clean the bottom bolt area up by being flush.

Yah the new bikes w/ the redone wiring are SIMPLE compared to mine, which I had to depin an array of rainbow amounts of colored wires. Should go real smooth and you probably won't have to depin anything as your connectors are tiny.

For sure check those bushings out.....nice cheap upgrade.

Good Luck

Yeah the size of those connectors are the only reason I'm gonna tackle the internal wiring myself. Should be simple, I hope.

It really is so long as you have a good leader for your wiring (think string with a nut on the end), whole job would have taken me a couple of hours if I hadn't made it harder on myself and had to learn throttle adjustment. Link on page 3 I think of the thread below. One of the most worthwhile home mods because it saves so much money in labor.

I used the cheapest poly bushings I could find off of phatperformance, I think they were like 8 bucks and work perfect.
