Default Nighttrain bars on my 05 Super Glide

After reading all the post's looking around for parts got the 5.5" 1 1/4" buffalorisers with 1" pullback from Drag Specialties. Sportster Guage mount. Accutronix t-bar gauge mount had to use rubber tape to get a tight fit on the risers. Nighttrain 27" bars with 1" pullback. Very comfortable riding and super responsive to turns this made a big difference in handling. Will take some getting use to. Will be relocating the turn signals to forks looks too cluttered from the side. About $400 afternoon project. Came apart too easy, the stock risers broke loose to easy like they were never torqued down. spent about 2 weeks waiting for parts to come in. Went into work early Friday got off at noon started raining so I started tearing it apart, was riding the next day.My bike seems to like the thicker humid air seems to run its best on these days like 99% humidity.

John, I had to do a similar mod to get away from the buckhorn bars. My risers are off a sportster custom. My speedometer is below the handlebars. A friend changed bars on a 2006 deuce so I got his old ones. That was the best thing I could have done. Love the looks and the feel of the ride.

Were you asking me or John? My risers also had the speedometer mount on it. Everything fits fine. Didn't have to buy new cables wires or anything else. By the way John, your mods look great.
