Show me your DRAG BARS!
i changed my mind after i'd bought bars and cables to do the conversion to the mini apes for my 07 FXDC. yes, you read correctly! not another apes post.
I am looking to find some drag bars or t-bars or street slammers (sure, explain the difference too) to maintain a more sporty look. ideally, i would like something with a decent pullback that wouldn't force me to reach too forward (5'8), but that would not sit too high up (even with my 2 inch tank lift) or seem too goofy with the minimal rake that my stock bike has.
I've got my eyes on the Wild 1 Chubby 501.
Any other suggestions, brands, pics and perhaps specs (pullback, rise, etc)? I've seen some killer bars on this site!
Thanks again, guys.

Sweeet bike, Scott....
I'd seen yours before and really dug it.
I think those bars are perfect for your scoot, but I'm not convinced that on my 29 degree rake it would have the same clean lines. What do you think?
Regardless, what would you say the difference is between the stock bars and these?

Overall, I am happy with the quality of the Wild-1 product for the price and I believe whichever you choose should serve you well.

RE: Show me your DRAG BARS!
I wish I could tell you what kind mine are but I don't know. They are similar in style to street slammers but they have 8" risers on them. Dealer turned me onto them - especially for the price - $130 and the fitment was perfect for me. I was going for fitment and comfort over lines so take them for what they are worth. The lines seemed to improve dramatically for me after the tank lift. My fork bag up on the bars masks some of the extra rise I needed but didn't particularly care for the look of.

^ I'm really digging that aggressive stance right there. Exactly what I'm going for.
Thanks for the advice, Scott! [sm=smiley20.gif]

H-D Street Slammers. I believe they're 1" 1/4 thick with an intergrated 7" rise. I'm 6' 225 lbs & I absolutely love 'em! Nicest looking drag bars on the market today in my opinion. Just got 'em installed a couple weeks ago...
