I love my drag bars. I'm 6'0" so drag bars and forward controls are what I prefer. Do yourself a favor and get properly sized (and braided) cables when you swap bars.

Go for it! Check out the pics of dynas in the "Let's See Some Pics of Dynas" thread - a number have put drag bars on and it looks great.

Drag bars rock. I don't know why I would think that though. But get some that fit you and your preferred riding position regardless of the potential flaming you might take for getting some, with say, an 8" rise...

Has nothing to do with style for me. I prefer the riding position.
