You could go with some 4 1/2 inch pullback risers without buying new lines. You would need to reshape the brake line a bit and lift the tank to pull out the slack on the electrical. I used to have them on mine with the stock bars and cables.

ORIGINAL: larazauk

Have a streetbob and just cannot get on with the bars, too uncomfortable for longer distances.

Have searched through the site and got together a few bits of info but would be really grateful if you guys would post what bars you have fitted (pics if poss) and how comfortable you find them.

At the moment I'm leaning towards some Flanders flat track bars but don't want to make a mistake!
Hi, I'm in th UK too and wasn't keen on the mini apes. I got a 2nd hand set of deuce bars and risers which I like. In an ideal world I'd have liked straight risers but I got the stuff cheap and it works well. I had to change the brake line too but all the other cables are ok. I have a pair of used Fatboy bars if you're interested, I tried them but wasn't keen, you might like them though.

I tried several different bars year ago on my sporty and came to appreciate the comfort and handling of drag bars with properly fitted risers. This is what I have on my Dyna and one of the items on the bike when I bought it used. I have drags with the XL style riser. You can adjust the risers to better fit you. They are ugly and I don't have my wiring run into the bars; but I don't care, I have a runner not a looker.
