FXDL bars on a FXDC
Low rider bars came today, (big brown truck). Installation was a breeze. The stock buckhorns measured 31" wide,5.75" rise and9.25" pull back. The low rider bars are 30.25" wide, 3.75" rise and 4.75" pull back. Big difference. No problem with reach as I'm 6'1" and have long arms. Shorter folks might need more then the stock 1" risers. Bike handles like a dream now.

They look good. I am going to put them on my Bob. When I test rode the low rider and the Bob I liked the lower Bars much better but got a better deal on the Bob.I cruise at around 80 - 85 and with the apes my jacket becomes a sail in the wind.

RE: FXDL bars on a FXDC
There's two different low rider bars.
2001 to 2005 part # 56055-01, what I have
2006 & 2007 part # 56004-00, they have 3/4" more rise & 1" more pull back putting them a little higher and closer to you.

RE: FXDL bars on a FXDC
Clark, did those bars make your clutch cable way too long? When I put a windshield on my FXDC, I had to route the cable behind the bars to take up the excess length. I later got some 4 1/2" high X 1 1/2" backrisers and the cable is just right now in front of the bars.
Those risers effectively give me about 3" more pullback with their height and angle, but I'm still looking for a couple more.

I think the cable is too long with the stock bars however, it really didn't look that much different with the lowrider bars. Here's a pic from the side.

That's about how minelooked before the risers. You can see what would happen when you put a windshield on the forks.
