Those look awesome. Now I really can't wait for that big brown truck to get here today. Here is what mine look like right from the dealer. I am going to try and put the new ones on today.

If you don't mind me asking, did you have to change cables with the 5"/2" pullback riser?

Rowo,

On your Super Glide in the UK, was that a rear license plate, a billboard or a spoiler on your rear fender?

you can figure this out yourself...
where do you want your hands?
how wide and tall do you want to go?
If the bars will be more narrow and closer to the triple tree, do you think the cables will be too long?

Drag bars are flat. risers raise the bars up....

Check 'em out. They are one piece with an 8" rise. They make this bike the absolute best thing I have ever ridden in my life. I took it around the block just now in the snow because I could not wait. They are GREAT!!! Any less of a rise would not have allowed for clearance of the turn signals. They are perfect for me.

I went with bars with integral risers, 8"up, 8"back and replaced my Street Bob cables with stock length cables for the super glide and they fit perfect.

Touche'. It's funny how carried away you can get talking about your bike when your wife is not sitting right next to you naked. Then I would not be writing anything though.

These are 51/2 in risers and no cable changes. Had to carefully straighten out the brake line. Did have to buy extended mirrors to get them out past my shoulders.
