Default handlebars for a 97 FXD

I need a suggestion on the right handlebars for a 97 super. I have looked at drag specialties, and they are more of a sporty drag bar type. I am 6'2" and the stock bars are way too close together.I am thinking of maybe a wider bar with a slight pullback.....any suggestions? I definately do not like the "buckhorn" look.

Mini-apes from Wild1 are extremly comfortable. Almost a perfect fit for me. Same rise and pull back as the stock WG mini-apes, but a little wider and and better angle on the grips.

If you want something lower, I have heard a lot of good things about their pull back drag bars.

Hi Tom, welcome to the HDForum from New Zealand. [sm=welcomesign.gif]

Stock mini-apes are good for me, but I am 2" shorter than you. Why not try a few bikes at your local dealer first?
