Pullback riser look?
I'm considering putting pullback risers with the stock mini buckhorn handlebars on my 07 Super Glide. Will this look weird as far as the side profile symmetry? Thanks in advance.

RE: Pullback riser look?
Is it a cosmetic thing, or a functionality thing?
I have drag bars on my softail, with 9.5 pullback risers and they are just right..
Everyone else thinks so too.

RE: Pullback riser look?
When I intalled 4" pull backs on my SG (FXD) it moved the bars right to where I wanted them.
Problem is... it changed the angle of the Speedoto an almost straight up and down profile.
Looking at it from the side it doesn't look bad.
From the seat however, I really don't like it.
After a month on the bike though,
it has grown to where I am used to it and it doesn't bother me anymore.
It did however, raise the Speedo to where I no longer have to lower my head to see it,
just glancing down, with my eyes,is enough now.
I do like that.
I got the pullbacks off ebay for $14 so I am happy.
All things being equal though, I would rather have hadtheplain 4" risers.

I've got the 4" pullback with straight up speedo thing going on. I like the setup. Can't miss seeing the speedo, now
I think they look fine from the side.

I put the HD 4" pullbacks on my SG with Sporty bars. Put my hands about as close in length as the stock buckhorns with a lot better feel/control and angle for my wrists. Go with what puts you in the best riding position "FOR YOU" then worry about looks.

Here are 2 pics of my WG, the first is with 4" pullbacks and the second is with 3-3/4" straight. I like the straight...
