Just wondering if drag bars will fit on a Superglide FXD, especially since that bike has the handlebar mounted speedometer.
Here's what I did recently Rock....

FatBob bars and risers on my 006 FXD.

Comfortable.

Looks like a number of folks have had the same idea.

My Sportster is a 1200 Roadster which has bars with the angle extremely close to that of the drag bars on the Fat Bob. That style seems to be the most comfortable for me and seems to give me the best control especially when countersteering thru a curve.

It is very comfortable but havent had a chance for a long ride with it yet.

It is a C&C fast back and has a removeable drivers backrest as well.

I put the 07 FXDSE bars on mine whcih are a drag style bar and like them alot.

Edit: the fxd doesnt have integrated risers thats just the Street Bob.


I was just wondering if I can order that cluster for my Super Glide I really like how it looks and can not find anything like this.
