RE: pullback riser for 07 super glide custom?

Thanks Murph..I figure the low rider bars have less pullback/ height than the stock bars so it looks like I have a bit
more extra cable to play with....I will check it out tonight...

Just received the latest J&P catalog (Big Book) yesterday. Page 842 is where you need to go. There is now a pullback riser made specially for the Superglide. 1" up / 2" back

How about scanning the page, I couldn't find it anywhere in theonline catalog.

I'm not sure how much difference there is between Low Rider bars and the stock FXDC bars, so your wires and brake line might not work if you userisers similar to mine.

There's about 2" less rise and 4" less pull back from the stock FXDC bars to the FXDL bars. This is a rough eyeball measurement with a tape I just made. I'll check my handlebar chart when I get a chance. All I can say is night & day difference in handling for me.

OK, here's the spec's from my Harley handlebar chart

Tip to tip / base width / rise /pull back
FXDC30.00"11.75" 5.75" 9.25"
FXDL30.25"8.5" 3.75" 4.75"

So, I was off by a half an inch on the pullback

RE: pullback riser for 07 super glide custom?

Hey pyyz,
I lied about all the original fasteners, etc working...the holes in those Drag risers for the handlebar top clamp are blind holes, not through holes like the stockers. The stock sockethead screws will be too long. I can't remember what length I used, but they were 1/4" shorter than the stock ones. You might want to measure one of yours and get some new ones so you'll have them when you install the risers. I know what a pain it is to have to run to the store and get parts when you're halfway through a project.

I want to put drag bars on my 07 FXDC. Do you think that the pullback risers are needed if you go with a 4.5 rise or will the straight be fine as far as comfort goes.
