Default Drag bars

Quick question. Is it possible to swap out the original bars for a set of drag bars using original risers? Bars I am thinking about are 790mm wide with 90mm pull back. (Divide that by 25.4 to get imperial). I am not sure if they will hit tank or not?

how tall are your stock risers? could make a quick mockup with some pvc to test fitment if you're worried about clearance...

That's great advice thank you. Stock risers only about 2" (haven't measured). But also thanks to the mods for under $50 post I have found the way to increase riser height without spending **** loads. So the good thing about your suggestion of using pvc is great as I can try straight and then also pull back to see what I like best. So first I will try straight then will heat and try pull back.

So wild1 makes several different drag bars with the risers built in, they are very clear about what their rise, pull back, etc. are.

It was a pretty easy swap for me and did not require lengthening any cables/wires.

The quality of the bars was beautiful too.

I currently have the WO560 with 5" rise, 14.5" pull back, 30.5" wide and 25 degree wrist angle.

I'm a little over 5'8" and the pullback is comfortable but I think I could go forwards a little bit...

I'm considering picking up some WO507 which are 10" rise, 30.5" WIDE, 12-1/2" PULL BACK 25° WRIST ANGLE...I think they might look a little cooler and be perfect.

I was in your same boat with my Street Bob. Instead of spending a bunch of $$ on new stuff I found a set of lowrider-s take-offs for $50 locally and swapped. Good luck!!

What bike and risers? Some of the Harley risers have a larger inner diameter and won't work with regular bars...
